Detail of a Lekythos from Gela with a Poet in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, January 2018
Oil flask (lekythos) with poet reciting with a lyre
Painter of Goluchow 37
Greek
Early Classical Period
about 480–470 B.C.
Place of Manufacture: Greece, Attica, Athens
Medium/Technique: Ceramic, Red Figure
Dimensions: Height: 39.2 cm (15 7/16 in.)
Credit Line: Bartlett Collection—Museum purchase with funds from the Francis Bartlett Donation of 1912
Accession Number: 13.199
Collections: Ancient Greece and Rome
Classifications: Vessels
Catalogue Raisonné Caskey-Beazley, Attic Vase Paintings (MFA), no. 099.
Description: Poet reciting to the accompaniment of the lyre. He stands in profile to left, leaning back and looking up, holding lyre with left hand, plectrum in raised right. He is bearded and wears Ionic dress (chiton), cloak (himation) and headdress (sakkos). A dotted fillet hangs from lyre. Scholars have considered the possibility that this figure is intended to represent the poet Anakreon of Lesbos, because of his eastern dress and lyre (barbiton). The soundbox, made from a tortoise shell, can be seen under his arm.
Provenance: By 1912: with Edward Perry Warren (according to Warren's records: From Gela. Said to have been found with [13.198].); purchased by MFA from Edward Perry Warren, January 2, 1913, for $18,948.70 (this figure is the total price for MFA 13.186-13.245)
