An Attic Red-Figured Kylix

An Attic Red-Figured Kylix Attributed to The Colmar Painter, Circa 490 B.C. Christie's Images Ltd

The tondo of this very fine cup, a late work by the artist, is thought to show a youth crowning a victor of the euandria, a tribal contest limited to Athenian citizens, which was part of the Panathenaic Games. The Colmar Painter was a late Archaic cup-painter whose style was developed under the influence of Onesimos and the Antiphon Painter, who very likely sat with them in the workshop of Euphronios.
