The Painter of the Yale Oinochoe is a well-known early classical Athenian artist and various vases have been attributed to his hand thanks to his very distinctive style. None of his works are signed and he was named after an oinochoe now exhibited at the Yale University Art Gallery showing Poseidon and Theseus, inv. no. 1913.143.
This stamnos shows the god Dionysos, two Maenads and a satyr on one side, and on the reverse a youth in pursuit of a female, possibly Peleus and Thetis according to Beazley, framed by two female onlookers.
