Sketch of the gravestone of Xanthippos, the shoemaker; the original marble now in the possession of the British Museum, having been purchased in 1805 following Townley's death earlier that year; drawing possibly by or after J. Flaxman who provided a drawing of the stele to serve as the basis for an engraving by James Parker, published as Plate III in: The Cyclopaedia : Universal Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, and Literature / Abraham Rees. London : Longman, Rees, [18--], pl. III, v 2: Basso Relievo.
Watermark: J. Whatman 1794.
Inscribed below: Tomb-stone of Xanthippus father of Pericles / in the possession of Charles Townley Esq.
Drawing shows Xanthippus the shoemaker seated on a fine high-backed klismos chair, facing left, holding out a shoemaker's last; beside him are two small girls, presumably his daughters, whom he is leaving behind.
