Title: Attic Red-Figure Lekythos Artist/Maker: Circle of Phiale Painter (Greek (Attic), active about 450 - 425 B.C.) Culture: Greek (Attic) Place: Athens, Greece, Europe (Place created) Date: about 450 B.C. Medium: Terracotta Object Number: 86.AE.250 Dimensions: 31.6 × 10.5 cm (12 7/16 × 4 1/8 in.) Alternate Titles: Oil Jar with a Woman at Her Toilette (Display Title) Object Type: Lekythos This red-figure lekythos captures an intimate moment of a woman at her toilette. The nude woman glances back over her shoulder, momentarily turning her gaze from contemplating herself in the mirror. The unknown vase-painter included familiar household items, such as the small chest at the left and the kalathos, or wool basket, at the right. Scenes of a woman at her toilette are found in Athenian vase-painting from the early 500s B.C. on, but the women are usually clothed. The portrayal of this woman as nude may indicate that she is a hetaira, or prostitute. The use of added white paint for the woman's flesh--an unusual choice in red-figure pottery of the mid-400s B.C.--further emphasizes her nudity. This vase did not fire properly in the kiln. Much of its surface is a red-brown, rather than the standard deep black of Athenian pottery. The side of the lekythos to the right of the woman even has a "ghost" of a meander pattern band caused by touching another vase during firing.
