Plate designed by Epiktetos as painter. Epiktetos was a pupil of the first painters to use the red-figure technique, invented in Athens in about 530 BC. He decorated numerous cups and several plates. His clarity of line and the delicacy of the two revellers enable us to recognise even his unsigned work. Made in Athens about 520-500 BC
