Wedding scene. At the left is the bride (mostly preserved from shoulders to knees), dressed in a himation, being led by the groom (right arm, his hand clasping her left wrist, side with himation), she to right, he frontal, probably looking back at her. Preliminary sketch.

For the composition of the pair, cf. Amsterdam inv. 3495 by the Sabouroff Painter (ARV2 841, 76); Toronto 929.22.3 = 635 by Polygnotos (ARV2 1031, 51; Addenda 317; Matheson, Polygnotos, p. 358, cat. no. P 56, pl. 56); once London Market by the Naples Painter (ARV2 1099, 46 bis), which seems closest to 100; Erlangen 301 near the Naples Painter (ARV2 1102, 3); two by the Washing Painter: Vienna 2027 (ARV2 1127, 11; Addenda 332) and Houston 37.12 (ARV2 1127, 13; Addenda 332; Reeder, Pandora, pp. 163--165, cat. no. 23).
