It's possible that the nymphs were done in two passes. One focuses on the outline of the figures, then the second pass adds in missing details or clarifies some important lines. 
In some sections, the first pass still does all the work. Here, the artist clearly takes their time. When it becomes clear that the artist does not have the time to churn out 500 nymphs at this pace though, there is a progression towards a quicker first pass and an equally quick and consistent touch-up.

It's probably about time that I split this thread...
