Manner of the Painter of London E 777, ii (Addenda and Corrigenda, p. 394, 9 bis to ARV2 one 621--622; not in ARV2). 1474 bears some resemblance to the maeander pattern and figures on the cup once in the Basel Market (ARV2 942, 51; Addenda 307) by the Painter of London E 777. But 1474 looks slightly later than the work by the painters of the Penthesilea Workshop.
