Details: unknown; painter/draughtsman; Greek

Biography: Athenian red-figure vase-painter whose name is unknown. Nevertheless consistent individual characteristics of style suggest the existence of a unique artistic personality. Beazley called him the Painter of the Yale Lekythos naming him after a lekythos at Yale (New Haven, Connecticut). He was a decorator of relatively small pots. A very large number of vases have been attributed to his hand on the basis of style.
Bibliography: Beazley ARV² 657-662.
