About the work
Imported from the workbook's Full reassessment sheet, revised 7 October 2026 (record ID 16). The assessment below is the workbook's comparative judgment under its stated criteria; source links and limits are retained.
Workbook assessment: Insufficient evidence
Date or witness: Approximately 510–500 BCE
Region: Athens; vase found at Vulci, Italy
Workbook date-sort bounds: 510 BCE to 500 BCE; these bounds are not automatically invention or disappearance dates.
Description
Euthymides signs a vase and adds a boast conventionally read as 'as Euphronios never [could do]', taking a swipe at another painter.
Evidence of adoption or transmission
A named painter addresses a rival in a surviving inscription.
What remains uncertain
Occupational authorship is unusually visible, but a single taunt is not evidence that a format spread independently.
