Henry Cheere's chimneypiece production was chiefly from the 1740's onwards and this tablet evokes the 'rococo-pastoral' manner of his designs. A group of twenty-eight watercolour and ink designs by Cheere (V.& A. prints and drawings archive, D.715 (13)-1887) display his typical characteristic of overlaying coloured marbles with country figures and scenes.
