Youth (face) to right, head bent downward slightly. Above, tongue pattern. J. Oakley, The Achilles Painter (Mainz 1996), cat. no. 163, pl. 88D.
The line across the forehead, indicating worry, concern, or tension, appears occasionally on other figures by the Achilles Painter. See the figure of Euphorbos on Cab. Méd. 372 (ARV2 987, 4; Paralip. 437, 4; Addenda 311); the Theban Sphinx on Boston, M.F.A. 06.2447 (ARV2 989, 26; Addenda 311); and the warrior with the shaggy hair on New York, M.M.A. 07.286.81 (ARV2 991, 61; Paralip. 437, 61; Addenda 311). Elsewhere, this feature is best known from several figures on the namepiece of the Niobid Painter, Louvre G 341 (ARV2 601, 22; Paralip. 395, 22; Addenda 266).
