Heesen (op. cit.) assigns this cup to the Tleson Painter’s middle period and considered this a small cup within his oeuvre. According to the author (op. cit., p. 194), “The middle period of the Tleson Painter is perhaps the most interesting, since his work from this period can be divided into medium to large cups and small cups.” The small cups reveal an exchange between the Tleson Painter and the Centaur Painter, whereby the two artists shared the same designs and subjects to the extent where an individual hand can be difficult to decipher.
