Decorated on side A with two standing youths leaning on their spears, wearing short chitons and himations draped over their shoulders, their curly hair dressed with a taenia, and on side B showing a standing woman wearing a full-length chiton and himation draped over her left shoulder, her hair bound in a saccos, holding a phiale in her left hand.
The Sabouroff painter takes his name from a previous owner of a red-figured lebes now in the Antikensammlung, Berlin (see pp. 837 ff. in J.D. Beazley, Attic Red-Figure Vase-Painters). He painted mostly cups and leythoi, and worked in both red-figure and white-ground. His white-ground lekythoi are considered among his best works. The subject of two figures facing each other in conversation and a female figure with outstretched arm holding a phiale is typical of his production, see inv. no. 295 in the Lindenau Museum in Altenburg (Beazley Pottery Database no. 215796) for a similar composition.
