Description
Photograph of the painting "Education of Greek Youth", depicting various aspects of ancient Greek culture, [s.d.]. Two identical panoramic strips contain a scene which includes from left to right: Greek wrestlers locked in competition and two spectators, a discus thrower, two more spectators dressed in darkly-colored robes, a naked young man laying on his stomach with his hand on his brow, and a collection of pensive young men gathered around an elderly gentleman who sits with a writing tablet, his attention focused on the second elderly gentleman to the far right who appears to be orating.
