Woman or youth (lower part of face, left shoulder with chiton), probably moving to left, looking back. The hand of a pursuer grasps folds of the chiton. Relief contour: profile.

Whether one calls the figure a woman or a youth depends on the identity of the pursuer if the scene is a mythological one. If it is, the figure would be Boreas if the pursued is a woman or Eos if it is a youth (Kephalos or Tithonos). Normally, either pursuit is from left to right, but in the work of the Pan Painter, an example of each subject occurs in which the action moves from right to left. For Boreas, see London, B.M. E 512 (ARV2 557, 125; Paralip. 387, 125; Addenda 259). For Kephalos, see Akropolis 469 a (ARV2 559, 144). What remains on 69 is particularly close to the latter composition and might tip the scale in favor of identifying the scene on 69 as Eos and Kephalos.

The Pan Painter (ARV2 558, 131).
