I believe Robertson's attribution was to the Kleophrades Painter, Art of Vase Painting in Classical Athens, p.58. Twospoonfuls (talk) 21:53, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, following the Beazley Archive (http://www.beazley.ox.ac.uk/xdb/ASP/recordDetails.asp?recordCount=2&start=0), it states "BERLIN P by ROBERTSON". There seems to be 2 works by Robertson referenced, the one you cite, and another one (Robertson, C., History of Greek Art (Cambridge, 1975): PL.75B (I)). Would this Berlin Painter attribution caused by this last work? Bibi Saint-Pol (sprechen) 09:30, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Happily I have both books on my shelf. In Robertson History of Greek Art, vol. 1 p.229 he is noncommittal, with only "nameless artist" and "close to Euphronios". Apparently his opinion firmed up in the intervening years. It's disappointing to have to check the Beazley archive records for accuracy. Twospoonfuls (talk) 12:42, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You seem to be perfectly right, since I found this text on the Kleophrades Painter. I fix it. Beazley Archive is a great work, but it's still human... Bibi Saint-Pol (sprechen) 13:31, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
