en: The Painter of Berlin A 34 (formerly known as the Woman Painter) is an Athenian black-figure painter active ca. 630-620 BCE. The name derives from a fragmentary krater found on Aegina (Berlin, Antikensammlung A 34; BAPD 218722) with a procession of women. The painter is among the first attributed artists of Attic black-figure vase-painting. The main shape is the krater. This painter uses a mix of techniques (outline and black-figure) and a variety of motifs, such as zigzags, dot rosettes, black-and-white patterned rays, and animals on a large scale. Findspots include Athens (Kerameikos, Agora), Aegina, and Vourva.
