Subject Description:

The exterior of this cup is painted entirely in glossy black. On the interior of the cup, Artemis, identified by her attributes (bow, arrows, quiver) strides forward realistically, her swinging folds of drapery following logically the movements of her limbs. Her feet are naturalistically drawn, while her eye is no longer shown frontally in the profile face, as it had appeared in the black-figure manner.
