Terracotta lekythos (oil flask)
Attributed to the Workshop of the Bowdoin Painter
Dionysos (god of wine) with a satyr and goat
The decoration on the body is executed in a combination of black silhouette and outline drawing on a white ground. Such works, known as semioutline lekythoi, are associated with the workshops of two closely related artists, the Bowdoin Painter and the Athena Painter. The technique represents a modification of black-figure at a time when red-figure was gaining popularity.
