I, woman, seated to left on a stool, her feet resting on a block, holding up a mirror in her right hand. The top of her head, her left breast, and part of her right hand are lost. She wears a long chiton and himation, with what appears to be a veil over her head. Around each wrist is a bracelet. Beside her, on her left, is a dwarf standing to left, right hand resting on the top of a knobby stick. His head is wreathed, and he wears a himation. Behind the two are one leg and part of the pillow of a couch. In the field:

Reserved line and incised line for tondo border. A, youths. The first (head missing) stands to right, clad in a himation. He seems to hold out an animal (legs) toward another youth (head, shoulders missing) who faces him and who also wears a himation. Then comes the second pair (legs with himation of each), the left leaning on a stick. One of them holds out an animal with a long, full tail; it is very tense because it has drawn up its hind legs. Precisely how it is held is unclear, probably by the scruff of the neck. Beneath the handle, a panther (part of body, one foreleg missing) to left. B (not illustrated), uncertain subject. At the left, a foot to right, then the folds of the himation of a man or youth to right leaning on a stick, facing one who sits on an okladias (drapery, one foot drawn back; part of seat and one leg of okladias). Below the figures, reserved line; below that, a pair of incised lines. Preliminary sketch. Relief contour. Dilute glaze: folds of woman's chiton, hair of dwarf, his whiskers and moustache, also two folds of his himation; two stripes on pillow. Red: inscription.

For the combination of a reserved line with an incised one, see 1412. For dwarfs, see H. A. Shapiro, AJA 88, 1984, pp. 391--392. In CB iii, p. 30, note 2, Beazley suggested that the animal with the long bushy tail on Side A is a marten, an animal that seems to have been partly domesticated in Greek and Roman times in order to keep mice and rats away (Encyclopedia Britannica, 11th ed., vol. 17, 1910--1911, pp. 785--786, s.v. marten).

Robertson (Στη'λη , pp. 125--129) suggested that 1411 is an early work by the Kleophrades Painter, an attribution he has since withdrawn orally. The face of the woman shares some similarities with the work of the Nikoxenos Painter, especially the shape of the nose and the slightly downturned mouth, but the rest of the drawing is too rough to be his. Cf., e.g., the maenad looking toward Dionysos on Munich 2304 (ARV2 220, 1; Paralip. 346, 1; Addenda 198) or Athena on Boston, M.F.A. 95.19 (ARV2 220, 5; Addenda 198).
