Wall fragment. Glaze fired brownish on outside. Max. dim. 0.084.

Apotheosis of Herakles, to left. What remains of Herakles is most of his body, his left hand holding the club, a little of his outstretched right arm, the hand (now missing) grasping the breastwork of the chariot (also missing). He wears a himation (part over his left arm). Next to him, Nike or Athena (drapery at thigh level; left forearm) drives the vehicle. Of the chariot, all that is preserved is the left rail and a bit of the left wheel. The curved area just above the break is the tail of the left-hand trace horse. Dilute glaze: drapery folds. White (flaked): two vertical lines below forearm of driver (ends of reins[?]).

The subject of 441 is identified by comparison with the namepiece of the Painter of London F 64 (ARV2 1419, 1; LIMC V, 1990, p. 129, no. 2922, pl. 121, s.v. Herakles: on that piece there are also columns) and his bell-krater, Cab. Méd. 430 (ARV2 1420, 3): in both Nike drives the chariot. For the theme in Attic red-figure, cf. 440.

By the same hand as 440.
