The Parthenon Frieze. Block N XIX
Image
Carrey drew only half of this block and with this the drawing of the north frieze comes to an end. In the middle of the block, where the upper part of the stone is missing, a marshal (58) stands behind a team of chariot horses. He is turned toward the right and his left hand is raised to lift one end of his himation which has slipped from his shoulders. The other end is wrapped around his right forearm. To the right is preserved a small part of the chariot with the charioteer’s right forearm and hand (59).
