Attributed to the Dinos Painter in Addenda and Corrigenda, p. 1131, 35 to ARV1 789--792; not in ARV2. Probably by the Dinos Painter. These are the best parallels: the maenad holding the tray on Berlin 2402 (ARV2 1152, 3; Addenda 336; Matheson, Polygnotos, p. 381, cat. no. D 3, pl. 135); the maenads holding trays and the kantharos held in side view by Dionysos on Vienna 1024 (ARV2 1152, 8; Addenda 336; Matheson, p. 382, cat. no. D 9); and the maenad on Copenhagen inv. 318 (ARV2 1154, 26; Matheson, p. 386, cat. no. D 27).
