The scenes rendered with delicate brushwork in subdued tones of brown, gray, pale green, turquoise, and soft pink against a milky white ground, reflecting the influence of Western European naturalism combined with Russian decorative taste of the late Imperial period. The reverse of each plate bearing the printed Kornilov Brothers factory mark with Imperial double-headed eagle and Cyrillic inscription, denoting production for the domestic market.
