Extract

At the sale of the Forman collection, a hydria with figures of Troilos and Polyxena was purchased for the British Museum. Cecil Smith, in the sale catalogue, described it as in the style of ‘Euthymides?’; but I cannot agree with him. Eight other vases by the same hand are known to me; and I beg leave to call this anonymous painter ‘the master of the Troiloshydria in the British Museum.’ He is no genius; but one of his vases, the krater in Copenhagen, is a respectable performance; and others are not without animation.
