The women bath painter (English Washing Painter ) is a Greek vase painter of the Attic - red figure style, who between 430 and 410 BC. Was active.

It got its emergency name after the little hydria he painted with women washing themselves. He painted numerous vessels related to the wedding such as Lebetes gamikoi and Louthroporen .

Other works, including the Peliken F 2356 and F 2357 in the Berlin Antikensammlung , are stylistically close to the painter, but were most likely carried out by another vase painter who was close to him and are therefore of the type of the Frauenbad painter ( Manner of the Washing Painter ) attributed.
