There's a well known painting of Ismene. It's found on the side of a large, handled jar that dates back to about 560 B.C.E. The jar counts among the Louvre Museum's collection, in Paris, France.
Ismene has long, dark hair that's styled into twists that may be held in place by metal rings. Her face is shown in profile. She has large eyes and distinct eyebrows. She wears a series of armlets just below her right shoulder, which is gripped by the left hand of Tydeus. In his right hand, Tydeus readies his sword to kill Ismene. Tydeus is one of the six captains who support Ismene's brother Polyneices' rightful claim to the throne of Thebes against Ismene's other brother, Eteocles.
A copy of a photograph of the amphora may be found at one of two sites that relate to the play 'Seven Against Thebes' by Aeschylus [525/524 B.C.E.- 456/455 B.C.E.]. One is a site on Ismene: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ismene. The other is on her purported killer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tydeus.
