On the underside he depicted a swirl of animal figures reminiscent of the work of Kleitias . His sense of colors and details is also reminiscent of Kleitias. He pays attention to the posture of his characters and devotes himself particularly to details such as armor and helmet bushes, but not everything succeeds as intended.
