No,not sleeved,if you want the classical chiton. The decoration of the classical chiton is usually just a plain stripe near the hem. The chiton itself is a rectangular piece wide as is the distance from elbow to elbow.Don't be afraid to make it even a little wider. The length should be under your knees unbelted. When belted,with the drapes in your waist it should reach to the thighs,or a little over the knees. The ancients seem to have worn them high. The early archaic chiton very often leaves the genitals completely uncovered. This is a problem when you want to re-enact accurately.

This is probably the most accurate bust of Alkebiades.I'd make him about 30-35?

Alkebiades -Is this ok?

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

Hey! Albert! At last you're back!!!! This is great! May I add a little bit more...shelfish,arrogant and willing mouth.expression.I suppose this means more angles,like in the bust.
So,Albert,Are you back in that Socrates-Alcibiades drwaing?
Once again,Laudes from me!Great art!

I agree, and maybe a bit older in appearance.

Right. He became general for the first time when he was about 35. 30 was the age limit to be elected general. He was very clever and a mafiozo of his time. At the same time,an aristicrat and a democrat. Filthy rich and very popular,at times. Strangely enough,now I notice the bust brings those characteristcs out. Or is it just my imagination?

It is not completely stylized. Giannis, do you know which museum this bust comes from?

[Giannis K. Hoplite]
