These two people stand side by side on a wall part way up the hill to the Acropolis.

I don’t know which artist is responsible for the black and white (pasteup?) at the bottom but the details in their work are wonderful even if a lot has been painted over (or is that what they looked like originally?). I like the texture of the stockings as well as the mix up in the gender – hands too big for her, shoes not right for him.
