Terracotta Kylix Attributed to Onesimos in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 2008

Terracotta Kylix Attributed to Onesimos in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 2008
Terracotta Kylix (drinking cup)
Greek, Attic, red-figure, ca. 490 BC
Attributed to Onesimos
Interior, groom with horse

Accession # 1989.281.71

It is rare in black-figure to find representations of a man and a horse as intimate as this one. A black groom is in the process of currying the horse tethered to the perforated fixture at the right of the tondo. On the wall hangs a whisk broom. The horse is restive; the young man leans his arm firmly on its back and goes about his business.

Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
