Wall fragment. Glaze rather dull. LIMC III, 1986, p. 771, no. 230, s.v. Eos.

Eos and Kephalos or Tithonos: outstretched left arm of Eos to right, adorned with a bracelet, a bit of the sleeve of her chiton on the left; below, forearm of Kephalos or Tithonos and the thumb of Eos' right hand about to grasp his wrist. Preliminary sketch. Relief contour: lower arm. Dilute glaze: drapery folds; muscles. Red: bracelet.

Beazley (in a letter to Lucy Talcott dated August 10, 1939) identified the subject as Eos and Kephalos, but without part of his chlamys or hunting spear, the youth could just as well be Tithonos. The composition of 210 was probably similar to these two: Saint-Germaine-en-Laye, 7565, by the Alkimachos Painter, which shows Kephalos (ARV2 529, 8; Addenda 254); Boston, M.F.A. 03.816, the namepiece of the Tithonos Painter (ARV2 309, 1; Paralip. 357, 1; Addenda 213). For Kephalos, see I. Jucker, AK Beiheft 9, 1973 [ pp. 63--69], pp. 67--68. For Eos in pursuit scenes, see LIMC III, 1986, pp. 759--779, s.v. Eos (C. Weiß).

Manner of Myson (ARV1 172, 4 bis); may be by the painter himself (ARV2 240, 38).
