From an early 20th century collection. By descent the property of a UK lady. Ian Wilkinson collection, Nottinghamshire, UK, formed since 1985. Accompanied by a previous handwritten note including provenance.
The body of the panther resembles the style of the school of Sophilos, an Attic painter active circa 580-560 B.C. The naked image (a dancing satyr?) recalls the Attic black figure depictions of ithyphallic satyrs, with torso, arms, legs and incision for internal details in white paint, made around 500 B.C.
