Ein alt-athenisches Gefäss mit Malerei und Inschrift
A German antiquarian study by Georg Friedrich Creuzer, published in Leipzig and Darmstadt in 1832, dealing with Greek vases and their painted decoration. The plates show three black-glazed Athenian lekythoi with red-figure scenes and ornamental scrollwork, drawn for scholars of classical antiquity. A designer could take the lean tapering vessel silhouettes, the red-on-black figure contrast and the spiral tendril borders as a restrained classical motif set.
