Lot Essay

According to Boulter and Luckner (op. cit., p. 27), von Bothmer in correspondence with Beazley tentatively suggested Myson as the painter of this pelike, and Beazley agreed that such a possibility existed, but both hesitated since some of the decorative details do not conform to Myson's typical style.
