Attic Red-figure Lekythos with Eros, 450-425 BC

Fine lekythos with the winged Eros standing in a nice contrapposto between a stele and an incense burner.

The god of love is holding a phial in his left hand, while he is placing something into the pan of the burner in front of him.

Rays on the reserved shoulder. Ovolos at the edge to the wall.

Reconstituted from fragments, minor retouches on the phial. Some peeled spots of the glaze painted over. Fine condition.

20 cm (7.9 in)

Collection of Dr. Jessen, Berlin.
