Abstract
The article analyzes three fragments of Attic red-figure pottery found during the excavations of the ancient Panticapaeum by the Bosporan Archaeological Expedition of the State Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in 2021. One is the cup bottom on the low ring base showing a young man and a satyr in a tondo. The stylistic and compositional features allow us to attribute it to the Jena Painter, who was active between 400 and 380 BC. The second fragment belongs to a cup of a similar type: the image of two young men walking, one after the other is partially preserved in tondo; and the legs of two naked young men have survived on one of the outer sides. The painting of the tondo was most likely done by an anonymous painter of style B, and the decoration of the outer sides by the Q Painter. Finally, the third fragment is part of the cupskyphos, with two draped youths by the Painter of Kiel B 599. All three vessels were made in the same workshop, headed by the Jena Painter.
