The Parthenon Frieze. Block W XV
Image
A youth (29) clad in chlamys, bends to tie the sandal on his left foot, resting it on a large stone. Behind him on a second level two horses stand quietly, one behind the other facing left. At the left end of the block a horseman is trying to pass a bridle over the first horse’s head. The entire representation bespeaks a gifted artist who has managed to portray with simplicity, yet liveliness, an everyday scene of preparation.
