Beazley attributed 113 vessels in red figure style to the Kleophrades Painter, as well as 21 Black Figure pieces. Since then, another 22 red figure attributions have been made; some identifications, both by Beazley and by later scholars, are somewhat controversial. Most of his work was done on large vessels, calyxes and amphorae, but painting on a great variety of pot types has been attributed to him. His early work is strongly reminiscent of Euthymides , to the point where it is virtually certain that he was one of that painter's students. The Kleophrades Painter's style is praised for the quality of the drafting, as well as for the vigorous, robust, and well-proportioned figures that he depicted. His influence has been seen in the work of the Boot Painter and the Troilos Painter . In this latter case, the two artists have decorated vessels apparently by the same potter produced at roughly the same time, making it appear likely that they may have been working in the same workshop.
