convex and runs counler to the concave curve of the vase:. The
Villa Giulia Painter is connected wilh followers of Douris but
chiefly painlcd large pols rather than cups.JI

Size and proportions link this p)'xis to the class. It differs
primarily in the form of the lid. The concave curve of the body is
not completed by that of the lid; the cune of the side of the lid
lies .... ithin that of Ihe body. The subject is nOI mythological.

The profile bears a close relationship to the class. The painter
is an outsider. The plain, black framing elements, though most
effective. differ from the class as does the pattern on the lid. Note
also Ihe non-mythological subject.
