Meier's engraving (op. cit., 1884, pl. 16), shows the present lot as previously restored with a taller foot and losses in the figures drawn in; the author notes (p. 240) that the restorer was "very gifted with the pencil" and lived in Santa Maria di Capua near Naples. The same artist appears to have worked on an amphora by the Affecter, also from the Bourguignon Collection, sold at Sotheby's, New York, June 9th, 2004, no. 6.
