Abstracts

EN

In the collection of the Princes Czartoryski Museum there are three white-ground lekythoi originating from purchases made by Prince Władysław Czartoryski and Professor Marian Sokołowski. The article contains the results of chemical tests and an iconographic analysis of the scenes decorating these vases, leading to the confirmation that two of them were subject to thorough reconstruction of the layer of paint in 19th-century Athens.
