Youth or man (torso, start of thighs, beginning of right arm) leaning far forward to right. Preliminary sketch. Relief contour. Dilute glaze: muscles.

The position of this figure suggests that he is a wrestler, except that one leg should be more forward for balance: cf. Philadelphia 2444 in the manner of the Antiphon Painer (ARV2 344, 64; Addenda 220) and Hamburg 1900.518 by the Briseis Painter (ARV2 407, 11; Paralip. 371, 11; Addenda 232). Conceivably, he might be a jumper in a position similar to that of the one on a skyphos in Salerno by the Triptolemos Painter, 1131 (ARV2 367, 103). Another possibility is that he is kneeling and looked something like the left youth on side A of Villa Giulia 50430 by the Antiphon Painter (ARV2 340, 62; Paralip. 361, 62; Addenda 218).
