Description from the seller
GREEK LEKYTHA WITH BLACK-FIGURE
Attic black-figure lekythos. Piriform body with shoulder, funnel-shaped neck, and curved handle.
Beautiful depiction of a four-hurer with three horses at a gallop driven by a man.
Most probably executed by the Haimon group.
The Painter of Haimon is one of the last Athenian potters to use the black-figure technique. This technique had already been supplanted at that time by red-figure. He was contemporary with the Painters of Sappho and Diosphos.
Greece, Attic, circa 490 B.C. - Height 16.7 cm - diameter 5.4 cm.
Good condition - well-preserved decoration - restoration at the neck and handle
Provenance: France, M.L.N. Studio
Previously: former French private collection
Piece previously expertised by Daniel Lebeurrier, archaeologist, expert of the National Chamber of Specialists in works of art and collectibles, member of the European Confederation of Art Experts.
