Which Greek vase painter created the earliest known visual depiction of Pandora?

The Niobid Painter created the earliest known visual depiction of Pandora.

The Niobid Painter was an anonymous Attic red-figure vase painter active in the early fifth century BCE. A vase associated with this artist shows a woman identified as Pandora, or Anesidora in the relevant inscriptional tradition, rising from the earth while other figures attend the scene. This image is much earlier than many famous modern paintings of Pandora.

The attribution is a scholarly name, not the artist’s personal name. Ancient Greek vase painters were often anonymous, so historians identify them through distinctive styles and recurring subjects. Exekias and the Berlin Painter are genuine ancient vase painters, but neither is the correct answer for the earliest known visual Pandora depiction.
