Wall fragment with start of knee end and part of reserved resting surface. P.H. 0.065; P.L. 0.135. R. S. Young, Hesperia 20, 1951, pl. 79:1.

At the left are the end of a bed with pillows and part of an uncertain object, perhaps the forearm of someone. A woman (head missing) stands next to the bed, right arm resting lightly on the pillow, facing another who sits on a klismos, holding a large alabastron in the palm of her right hand and a flower in her left. The first wears a peplos; the seated one wears a chiton as well as a himation, and she has a fillet around her head. At the right, a zone of diagonally addorsed palmettes. Preliminary sketch. White (flaked): flower.

The diagonal line at the bottom of the bed indicates a binder to the leg on the far side, as on the epinetron by the Eretria Painter, Athens, N.M. 1629 (ARV2 1250, 34; Paralip. 469, 34; Addenda 354; Lezzi-Hafter, Eretria-Maler, p. 347, cat. no. 257, pl. 169:e). The bit of reserve at the upper left break looks like it might be an arm, a rather spindly one. There is contour all around it as well as preliminary sketch.
