The type of painting is generally ascribed to Jefferyes Hammett O'Neale. Typical of O'Neale's work are the pendant leaf sprays at the base of each scene, and the reeds which spring from them, as well as the elongated pointing figure. The same style of decoration is also found on Vincennes porcelain, see documentation.
