According to Beazley (Attic Red-figure Vase-painters, Vol. 1, p. 166) "the Bowdoin-Eye Painter was a companion of the Scheurleer Painter and of the Nikosthenes Painter in his earliest phase." Compare for example the palmettes on the palmette-eye cup, lot 72 in this sale, which is tentatively attributed to the Scheurleer Painter.
