Wine Cup with a Satyr and a Nymph
Greek, made in Athens, 500-490 BC
Terracotta
Red-figured kylix attributed to Onesimos as painter

Inventory # 86.AE.607

The Greek vase painter Onesimos excelled in the decoration of cups. On this example, a curious satyr clambers down a rocky outcrop to investigate a nymph sleeping beneath a wine-skin. Juxtaposing the bestial and the beautiful, the artist inscribed the reason for the satyr's fascination: "the girl is lovely."
