Euthydikos Kore

[4] The surviving statue consists of two parts; the upper torso and head and the lower legs, feet and base, with the middle missing.

The himation was once decorated with painted bands which Winter discerns as depicting two four-horse chariots, wrapping around the figure's left shoulder and disappearing behind her hair.

The base is a round Doric column capital, with the inscription, highlighted with red paint, running around the abacus.

Described by Jeffrey Hurwit as 'an early classical statue in archaic dress',[9] the Euthydikos kore exhibits a sense of volume and structure under the drapery that was novel.

[10] Since she is perhaps the last in the series of Acropolis korai and represents the beginning of the new style, the dating of the statue is of some significance.

This implies that the kore’s date may be placed later in the 470s and that the Severe Style developed after the Median War and perhaps as a consequence of it.
