The circle of the Nikosthenes Painter was defined by John D. Beazley in the order of the Attic red-figure pottery. The style of the vases is very reminiscent of the Nikosthenes painter, but they are not made by his hand. It is very likely that these are works from the Nikosthenes Pamphaios workshop , which were made by various colleagues of the Nikosthenes painter, but which cannot be identified more precisely. In the second edition of his fundamental work Attic Red-Figure Vase-Painters, he grouped 22 vases and two related vases; in the supplementary volume Paralipomena he added another vase. Despite their proximity, Beazley didn't group them as closely as he did with groups . The vases are all drinking bowls , which he assigned to the Coarser Wing I , a compilation of rather poor quality works by the bowl painters who were active at the same time as the pioneering group of the red-figure style. Beazley describes the drawings as coarse and careless, but sometimes also as powerful.
