The Pezzino group is an early representative of the " pioneer group " of red-figure vase painting . Only a relatively small number of vases was assigned to her. From the tens of thousands of vases and fragments of the traditional Attic red-figure pieces, John D. Beazley identified the Pezzino group. As a group, they have characteristics that bind them closely to one another in terms of craftsmanship, but are still too uncertainly to be attributed to just one painter personality. He named the group after a chalice crater in the Museo Archeologico Regionale in Agrigento , which was previously part of the Pezzino Collectionbelonged to. Beazley attributed only four works to the group and points to about two more in the vicinity. 50 years later, the Beazley Archive has eleven vases from the group and their surroundings.
The group's works are very reminiscent of the early work of the Kleophrades painter .
