It looks as though the feet were raised for some reason.
Interesting bed design.

I assume his pregnant wife took this picture when he recuperated from raising the bed and mounting the electric extraction equipment (as yet unplugged). Tasks that the midwife required him to do as preparation for the coming childbirth.
Interesting bed design.

It is a fascinating picture from a Greek Vase Painting point of view... 
I imagine that the painter very carefully painted the ground line, then drew the bed, and only then realised that the two lines weren't parallel, so one leg of the bed had to be longer than the other 
The little under-bed table is a bit strange too, but the bed itself could have some sort of specific purpose, as the chap looks very comfortable there with his feet at the same level as his head 
Interesting bed design.

We used to know a cabinetmaker in Athens...I can imagine a shrug and a 'then pirazi' (it doesn't matter) while looking at that bed...
