THE PAINTER OF THE BOWDOIN PYXIS1
Beazley, VA. pp. 70-72.
Scattered through the various museums are numerous r.f.
lekythoi on which the figure of Nike is represented in various
poses. These have been grouped together by Beazley and attrib-
uted to a minor painter of the middle archaic period. The artist
seems to have been a ‘pot-boiler’ of very mediocre ability. The
‘white ground’ attributions have not been included here.
