The scene on the cover is after Rubens' Venus and Adonis in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and that on the base after his other work of the same subject in the Hermitage. The Metropolitan version was in the Marlborough Collection at Blenheim Palace in the early 18th century. There are comparable examples of mythological and landscape enamel work, more often found on watch-cases, and associated with Blois, in the Victoria and Albert Museum no's 4869-901 and 2359-1855.
