Description:

Four-color painting using black and diluted glaze and earth colors was a technical development of ca. 500-ca. 475 BCE. About the middle of the 5th century BCE a new polychrome technique of lekythos painting using matt colors was introduced; the Sabouroff Painter was apparently the initiator of this new painting technique. In the second half of the 5th century BCE White-ground was used exclusively in sepulchral contexts and was largely confined to lekythoi, generally with paintings of grave scenes. When the production of funerary lekythoi ceased ca. 400 BCE, Attic White-ground painting also came to an end. This lekythos was designed to contain oil and ointments for funerary functions and as an offering itself. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
