Agoracritus

Agoracritus was a Parian and Athenian sculptor of the age of Phidias, and said to have been his favourite pupil.

His most noted work was the statue at Rhamnus[?] of Nemesis, by some attributed to Phidias himself. Of this statue part of the head is in the British Museum; some fragments of the reliefs which adorned the pedestal are in the museum at Athens.
