L. D. Caskey, J. D. Beazley, Attic Vase Paintings in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

About 500 B.C. Called a later work of the Menon painter, by Beazley, l.c., but not included by him in Att. V. Hoppin's attribution of the painting to Euthymides has been rightly rejected by Beazley, J.H.S. xxxvii, 1917, p. 236. But it is noteworthy that the plate resembles the fragmentary plate in the Museo Bocchi which has the signature of Euthymides (Hoppin, i, p. 438, no. 5). Its contour is similar; it has the same chequered border; and the bottom of the base-ring is grooved in the same way.

4. 13.193 PLATE Crouching silen PLATE II and FIGURE 4

Diameter 0.187 m. Intact. For the shape, and the decoration of the exterior with bands of black and incised circles, see figure 4. Relief contours throughout. The hair contour reserved, except at the top of the head, where a wavy line is incised. The inscription in thin paint of no definite colour. The inner markings in brown have been strengthened on the photograph.

From Cumae. Ann. Rep. 1913, p. 89. Beazley, V.A., p. 32, no. 13, fig. 15. Hoppin, i, p. 440, no. 10. Beazley, Att. V., p. 64, no. 13, and in J.H.S. xxxvii, 1917, p. 234.

A silen crouching to right, holding a drinking-horn and a flute-case. In the field, ΗΕΣΤΙΑΙΟΣ ΚΑΛΟΣ. The figure, composed so as to fill almost completely the space within the single reserved circle, is contemporary with the Epiktetan silens, no. 5 and no. 6 on Plate III (Boston 95.34 and Boston 10.212), but executed in a larger style.

'One of the minor works of Euthymides' (Beazley, V.A.). This attribution has been disputed by Hoppin (Euthymides, p. 92) on the unconvincing ground that the silen's head is larger in proportion to his body than is usual in Euthymidean figures. Two details mentioned by Beazley, J.H.S., l.c., are highly characteristic: the collar-bones rendered by two lines with hooks at their inner ends, and the breast drawn in relief lines as two arcs, one extending upward to mark the sternum and both continued by smaller arcs on the arms. Moreover, the whole system of neatly executed anatomical markings is in the manner of Euthymides.¹

5. 95.34 KYLIX Silen bestriding a wine-skin PLATE III

Diameter, 0.186 m. The bowl and the handles intact. The rim offset within. The exterior undecorated. The foot, which is like that of a black-figured kylix of the 'miniaturist' type, but with a shorter stem, is antique, but does not belong to the cup. Relief contours throughout, except for the top of the silen's head. The hair contour reserved. The wreath and the inscription in red. The details in brown (strengthened in the photograph) include two wrinkles on the forehead, two at the outer corner of the eye, and one on the cheek.
