CAVI Lemma: RF hydria. Niobid Painter. Second quarter fifth. Early (ARV[2]).
CAVI Subject: The picture is on the body going all around regardless of the handles: scenes
of farewell inside the palace at Troy: A: at left, Priam seated; standing woman
with libation vessels; two young warriors shaking hands (one of them standing
beside his horse). B: behind Priam: a standing warrior and an old man
(Antenor?); opposite and echoing the seated figure of Priam, a seated woman
(Hecuba?) clasping the hand of an armed warrior (Hector?). [This is AR's
description.]
CAVI Comments: Beazley refers to ARV[2] 607/93, frs. of a pot, perhaps a hydria, in Florence
and Naples, also by the early Niobid Painter, which he compares to "the hydria
in the London market (no. 63)."
