Polygno'tus
8. The panel-picture mentioned by Pliny as being at Rome in his time, shows that Polygnotus sometimes painted single figures, but Pliny's description of the work is perfectly unintelligible, "
in qua dubitatur ascendentem cum clypco pinxerit, an descendentem." (
Plin. Nat. 35.9. s. 35.)
