- Lot Description
Greece, Athens, ca. 5th century BCE. Finely decorated via the black-figure technique with incised and fugitive painted details, a beautiful oinochoe of a traditional form with a trefoil lip, a single loop handle joining the rear of the spout to the shoulder of the piriform body, all upon a disc foot. The iconographic program occupies a single panel and features a draped Maenad standing in composite profile and holding her left hand upwards in protest as a two Satyrs confront her from opposite directions - surrounding the object of their affections. The drapery folds of the Maenad's billowing cloak are skillfully incised. Her face, arm, calves, and feet are painted a peachy white; while her diadem is painted russet red. The Satyrs' long beards and tails are also painted russet red, and the details of their physique are nicely incised. Flowing behind the trio are sinuous, dotted grapevines, a reference to Dionysos, the Greek god of wine and fertility. Size: 5.375" D x 9.125" H (13.7 cm x 23.2 cm)
Provenance: private East Coast, USA collection; ex-Artemis Gallery; ex-private New Jersey, USA collection; ex-William Froelich collection, New York, USA, collected in the 1970s
