Provenance:
Private collection, London, formed 1980-late 1990s.
The Leafless Group were a group of Late Athenian black-figure vase painters who were so named for the stripped branches that appeared on many of their painted cups. Other signature features of the Leafless Group were dolphins, birds or leaves under the handles as well as single figures and Gorgons in the tondo (J. Boardman, Athenian Black Figure Vases, London, 1974, pp.150-151).
