The Painter of Louvre F6, together with the Painter of Vatican 309, is a close companion of the painter Lydos. According to Beazley in Attic Black-figure Vase-painters, p. 114, "the difference between the three painters comes out in the human scenes; the wild animals are in a single style--whether one artist painted them all, or whether subordinates had so assimilated the master's animal style that we cannot tell one hand from another."
