In Athens, in the 5th century B.C., while many artists were making red-figure vases, some artists were experimenting with a new technique of painting figures on a white ground. These vases were decorative as well as funerary vases. The artist would use brighter colors; red, blue, and brown. The cloths were lightly painted and revealed the form of the body underneath. This scene depicts multiple women paying their respects to the recently deceased.
