Wall fragment. Max. dim. 0.068. Burn, Meidias Painter, p. 118, cat. no. MM 157.

Woman (part of right side of body, right arm with bracelet at wrist) wearing a peplos. She stands frontally, holding a large fan (stem, lower part of leaf) in her lowered right hand. Behind her are the leg and foot of a diminutive figure (preliminary sketch confirms this), perhaps Eros, hovering. At the very left is part of an angular object that could be the back of a klismos and the curved bit above it, the shoulder of a seated figure. Preliminary sketch. Relief contour. Added clay: bracelet; dot at end of drapery fold. White (flaked): dots on black border of drapery.

The composition may have been something like the one on St. Petersburg St. 1811 = 1837, 4, a nuptial lebes gamikos in the tradition of those in the manner of the Meidias Painter (ARV2 1332, 1; Paralip. 480, 1; Addenda 365). There, the bride sits on a chair flanked by attendants and two hovering Erotes.
