GREEK LARGE RED-FIGURE AMPHORA Three females and a reclining Eros around a laver; three swans above. Female at left regards herself in a mirror, the one at right holds an oinochoe, and the third, nude, kneels as she puts on her chiton. On the neck sits a winged Eros. Rev: Three women stand around an altar. The painting sytle clearly relates to a Sicilian workshop, however, the form is identifiable to red-figure vases found in Illyria, modern day Albania; accompanied by a photocopy of a letter from Prof. A. Dale Trendall about this unusual amphora. Ex French collection, acquired in London in 1993. 4th Century BC H. 22 1/2 in.
