‘Ephebes with Dog and Cat.’ Relief of a Youth or ‘Kouros’ with a dog, from the base of a statue found in Kerameikos, Athens, dated around 510 B.C. Currently located in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, Greece.
The original relief is one of the three sculpted sides of the base of a statue. The three reliefs are: ‘Ephebes in the palestra,’ ‘Ephebes in the gymnasium,’ and ‘Ephebes with a dog.’ It represents the life of young men in the gyms of ancient Athens. In this image, two youths, dressed in their ‘himatia’ or cloak, face a dog and a cat held with leashes, while two other young men observe the scene with interest. These types of figures and scenes, skillfully crafted, made visitors to the tombs reflect on the loss of youth.
Reproductions of classical art, such as this relief of youths with a dog and cat, help create a special atmosphere of refinement and good taste in the interior decoration of our favorite corners of our home, such as libraries, offices, or living rooms.
