86 TONES. — CHARACTERISTICS OF BRYGOS. 
No. 29. This fragment is shown to be a work of Brygos by the " intense expres- 
sion " exhibited by the youth at the right. 
United with this peculiarity are two more general ones, namely, the narrow eye, 
and the representation of the hair as blond. At the left of the fragment is a female 
hand with a spindle. The motive of the spinning woman seems to have been a 
favorite one with Brygos, for it appears on two other vases of his. 1 
No. 30. The Brygos peculiarities presenting themselves on this vase are the 
" intense expression " (shown by the figure at the right, on side A), and the youthful, 
narrow, beady eye (present in the boy at the left, on side B). 
Other characteristics shown by the vase are as follows : the thrown-back head (the 
■ 
figure on the exterior, side B) ; food-baskets hung on the wall ; striped pillows hang- 
ing over the edge ; figures, with disproportionately long legs, reclining on couches 
(man of the interior picture) ; the long slender lyre (but along with it are short 
stubby ones) ; figures, reclining on couches, covered to the waist with himatia ; and 
details introduced to indicate the locality. As recurring variants of general 2 Brygos 
characteristics are to be noted the representation of one man, on side A, with a hany 
body, and the drawing of the narrow eye on the youth, and the man at the right on 
side A, and the man at the right on side B. 
No. 31. The distinguishing marks appearing here are the youthful, narrow, beady 
eye (boy of interior picture), and the use of dilute glaze to show shadows on columns 
(seen on exterior, side A). 
The " pearled-edge " border appears only once out of nine possibilities. The boy of 
the interior picture has a snub nose. A building is designated by the use of columns. 
The motive of the spinning woman, noted in the consideration of vase No. 29, 
reappears on this vase. 3 
No. 32. This vase is shown to be a work of Brygos by the presence of the 
" intense expression " (figure at right on side A) ; the youthful, narrow, beady eye (on 
boy of interior picture) ; the motive of the girl standing and playing a flute before 
a couch on which reclines a man ; and the representation of hetairae with short hair 
The other peculiarities making their appearance are the stripe ornamented on one 
edge with dots, and used as a border for garments (" pearled-edge " border) ; dispro- 
portionately long legs and arms of figures reclining on couches (man of interior

By "general " I mean such characteristics as are not the sole property of our artist.

* The character and pose of the hetaira of this vase is identical (except that the one here is undraped) with 
one on vase ?so. 7. See Fig. 17 (p. 75).
