EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning lithograph captures the essence of Ancient Greek female costume with intricate detail and historical accuracy. The image depicts girls wearing clasp-fastened chitons, a traditional garment worn by women in ancient Greece. The upper part of the garment is doubled over, creating a layered effect that adds depth to their attire.
The girdle, which goes over the two thicknesses of cloth, cinches their waists and accentuates their feminine figures. This attention to detail showcases the craftsmanship and artistry of ancient Greek clothing design.
The artist, John Moyr Smith, has expertly captured the grace and elegance of these young women as they don this timeless attire. Their poses exude confidence and poise, reflecting the beauty standards of ancient Greek society.
This lithograph serves as a window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the fashion trends and cultural norms of a bygone era. It is a reminder of how clothing can be both functional and symbolic, shaping our perception of ourselves and others.
Whether displayed in a private collection or admired in a public setting, this print invites viewers to immerse themselves in the rich history and artistic legacy of Ancient Greece.
