Career
He eimigrated to Boeotia and is in fact identical with the Boeotian Horse-bird Painter. His conventional name is derived from his name vase, a lekanis at Dresden (Inv ZV 1464). The majority if his vases are made of a lighter-coloured clay than usual for Attic vases.
Which is explained by his emigration to Boeotia, where such clay was in use.
In Boeotia, his painting style became coarser, but his specific style with characteristic incisions and the use of additional colours leaves no doubt as to the identity of the painter. His production in Boeotia was much more extensive than previously in Athens.
More than 60 vases by him are known, the majority are alabastra. He maintained his predilection for sirens.
