The artist behind this vessel has been identified as the Boreads Painter, who led one of Sparta's most prominent pottery workshops between 575 and 550 B.C. As with most Greek vase painters, his true name is unknown, and he is recognized solely by his distinctive style, especially his way of rendering figures and his signature use of pomegranate bands to frame interior scenes. The name Boreads Painter derives from one of his tondo designs, which depicts the Boreads, sons of the North Wind.
