object type / vase shape: attic red figure calyx-krater
<p>- description side A: king Aigeus, Medea with fur cap and patterned dress, the bull of Marathon, tree, Theseus with club sitting, Peirithoos sitting, Athena
- side B: Tyndareos with sceptre, Leda with a gesture of surprise, the egg on the altar, the 2 Dioskuroi
- above the handles (each): woman
- production place: Athens
- painter: manner of the Dinos Painter (D´Henry) or: workshop / circle of the Pothos Painter and the Kadmos Painter;
My opinion: The Kadmos Painter depicted also Leda with the egg, but in a totally different style of drawing; the fluent lines of the drapery fit well into the workshop of the Dinos Painter.
