TONKS. — CHARACTERISTICS OF BRYGO-. 71 
found in the Hieronic faces, maintains Hartwig, and is only paralleled in th works of 
Euphronios, and in the best heads of Doris. This expression appears on the faoet 
shown in the Wiener Vorlegcbl VIII, pis. 2, 4, 5, and 6, and /. C, pi. 7, and is duo not 
so much to the parted lips, as Hartwig believes, or the beady eyes as to the extremely 
delicate nostril. To make this clear, — a vase by Peithinos (MeixUr hakn, pi. XX V I) 
has figures with narrow, beady eyes, but with no intensity of exprr lion ; while Another 
vase, from the hand of Euphronios (id. pi. XI, B, first figure at the right), .shows a 
figure with a beady eye and parted lips, but still lacking the Brygos intensity. In 
the latter example the mouth does not give the impression of drawing in the breath 
as do those of the figures done by Brygos. The vase by the " Master with the Twig" 
(now in Boston) exhibits the narrow eye in the third figure from the right on side B. 
But the lips are not parted, nor the nostril dilated, so that here, too, the Brygos inten- 
sity of expression is absent. Two faces that bear a very clo resemblance to the Bry- 
gos type are to be found on a kylix by Onesimos (id. pi. LI V), and on another vise, 
given in Gerhard, Aus. Vasenb. pi. XCLVI. In the latter vase the interior picture

A 
pie is to be seen in the Arch. Zeit, 1883, pi. 4, where the figure at the left 
side A, has the narrow eye and the fine nostril. The faces of these fi 
lack intensity, owing, as I said above, to the fact that the nostril is not dilated. Thi 
peculiar intensity is due almost entirely to the manner of drawing the nostril. The 
line from the tip of the nose to the lip curves downward, and then upward to meet the

The nose thus drawn appears somewhat as in Fig. 12. 1 It is to be noted, finally, 
that the corner of the mouth never turns upward. This fact, combined with the 
narrow eyes, and particularly the dilated nostril, give to the Brygos faces their 
peculiar intensity. This is best seen, on the signed works, in the face of the lig 
named Chrysippos, on the vase illustrated in the Wiener Vorlegebl. VIII, 6

side A). Here the satyr has a hairy chest and abdomen. This treatment appears 
also in the case of the second satyr from the left on side B. The « Master with 
the Twig " uses the same motive on a kylix in the Vatican (id. pi. LXXIII).
