Fragment of a terracotta vase
Attributed to the Lion Painter
During the second half of the seventh century B.C. Athenian vase painters adopted the black-figure technique, which had been developed earlier at Corinth, as well as a taste for animal subjects that predominated on Corinthian vases. This large head of a lion owes much to the Corinthian tradition, both in technique and in drawing style.
