Description
With remarkable skill, the ancient artist has conveyed the mood of a moment that has just passed. There is nothing much taking place in the vignette we see before us: a woman stands and turns away from her male companion, who remains seated on the ground. Yet, unmistakably there is the feeling that something sexual has just occurred. Such a moment, a transition between intimacy and the more public side of life, strikes a chord that the passage of time has not lessened. - (PF.1081)
