Detail of the Reconstruction of the Chios Kore in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, December 2022
Title: Reconstruction of the so-called Chios Kore from the Athenian Acropolis
Artist: Vinzenz Brinkmann
Artist: Ulrike Koch-Brinkmann
Date: 2012
Medium: Cast from polymethyl metacrylat, natural pigments in egg tempera
Dimensions: 23 5/8 × 9 1/16 × 3 15/16 in. (60 × 23 × 10 cm)
Credit Line: Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung, Polychromy Research Project, Frankfurt am Main, acquired 2016 as gift from U. Koch-Brinkmann and V. Brinkmann
Accession Number: POL.014
When the marble statue of a young woman (a type known as a kore) reconstructed here was discovered in 1886, the archaeologist Valerios Staïs described traces of color on the skin and blue and red on the clothing. Azurite, cinnabar, orange and yellow ochers, and lead white have all been confirmed with ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy. The reconstruction re-creates the statue’s blue undergarment, white skirt, and yellow himation. The colors and the adornment of the garments on the sculpture, which resembles those known to have been carved on the island of Chios, are remarkably sophisticated. Fine lines scratched into the pigment layer of the ornamental bands, now marble colored, were likely originally inlaid with gold.
"The statue depicts a young girl of elegant appearance who once held a sacrificial offering in her outstretched right hand. With her left hand she may have lifted her skirt slightly, as if to make it easier to walk. The statue had been dedicated to the city goddess Athena.
Traces of color on the flesh, as well as blue and red on the clothing, were detected by Émile Gilliéron at the time of the statue's discovery in 1886. Our investigation in 2010 using ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-Vis spectroscopy) also confirmed the presence of azurite and cinnabar and many other colors, which served as the basis for the reconstruction. The girl's hair was painted with orange-yellow ocher. The diadem was decorated with a band of lotus and palmette against a blue ground, the disc earrings with spiraling volutes. The light yellow mantle was buttoned only on the right shoulder and upper arm, so that a blue undergarment with half-length sleeves is visible at the left shoulder. The mantle had a band with a blue border decorated with meanders, while the wide hem had the same pattern on red ground. The blue undergarment was decorated at the neck and along the shoulder seam with a broad red band with a meander pattern and rosettes. The skirt was white, with a wide strip in the middle once again decorated with meanders in an intense lead yellow on a red ground. Both her skirt and mantle were further decorated with a pattern of little crosses and blue double spirals. The color scheme clearly shows that the girl is wearing a white skirt and light-yellow mantle over the blue undergarment.
The coordination of the colors and decoration of the various garments is remarkably sophisticated. The skin is painted in a combination of lead white and red and yellow oxide, based on traces of skin color found in the ears of the original.
The Greek excavator on the Athenian Acropolis, Vasilios Staïs, described in 1887 the rendering of the skin on the Archaic kore. In the excavation reports in the Archaiologiki Ephemeris, the annual publication of the Greek Archaeological Service."
