Kylix with a Youth and a Boy
(Ancient Greece )
This red-figure kylix depicts a youth and a boy in the tondo. A youth stands nearly frontally on the left, legs crossed, head turned in profile to the right. He leans on a staff that he holds with his left hand; his right arm is bent across his chest. A boy stands nearly frontally on the right, his legs also crossed. He looks left toward the youth, as if involved in conversation. Both wear mantles.
The handles are placed off the central axis.
