The central medallion depicts a hunter with his dog addressing a woman seated under a tree with a figure lurking above. Both the decoration and shape are French in origin. The image derives from a print by Jean-Michel Moreau le Jeune (1741–1814) and the shape is similar to a silver dish by Pierre Dumont le Jeune, dating to 1759–1760.
