They have octagonal or oval frames with a suspension loop at the top, and are decorated in polychrome enamels, partly over paillons (silver foil), usually with a central medallion surrounded by a border of stylized flowers and birds reserved in a dark manganese-black ground overlaid by gold foliage or rinceaux. There are several formats for these borders. Others have a mythological scene or figures with ornamental surrounds which cover the whole plaque. None of the recorded examples are dated, but on stylistic grounds their manufacture probably extended from the late 1590s to the 1620s.. The only closely datable examples have comparable borders around bust portraits of Louis XIII, or of Anne of Austria, probably made at the time of their marriage in 1615 (See Documentation, Baratte, 2000, and Sotheby's, 19 November, 2007, lot 26). Comparable motifs occur on a rectangular plaque with a portrait of the King apparently some ten years older in the Wallace Collection, which bears the initials IL separated by a fleur de lis, for Jean Limosin (c. 1580-1646). Ovid tells the story of Jupiter’s deception of Callisto by appearing to her as Diana, and then ravishing her, in Metamorphoses 2, 420-531. Associated with a mirror it might serve as a warning to the owner to beware of deceitful suitors. The figures on the plaque was probably derived from Bernard Salomon’s woodcut illustration of 'Caliston deçue par Jupiter' in La Metamorphose d’Ovide figuree, Lyon (Jean de Tournes), 1557, or the later editions of 1564 or 1583, and might also have been influenced by an engraving by Antonio Tempesta (1555-1630) in Metamorphoseon sive transformationum ovidianarum . . Amsterdam, 1606, pl. 13, which has the direction of the figures transposed. A plaque for a mirror decorated with the same figures is in the Hermitage, St Petersburg. (see Documentation). Another decorated with an earlier moment in the story, Jupiter in the form of Diana appearing to Callisto is in the Victoria and Albert Museum (8421-1863), and one with a later incident, Diana and her companions bathing with Callisto sitting apart because of her loss of virginity is in the Musée municipal de l’Évêché, Limoges. This plaque has been attributed probably to François I Limosin on account of stylistic resemblance to an oval plaque in the Musée du Louvre, which is initialled FL (see Documentation, Baratte, 2000). It is also closely comparable to three octagonal mirrors attributed to Jean I (or II) Limosin, and one attributed either to him or François Limosin in the James A. de Rothschild collection at Waddesdon Manor (see Documentation, Marcheix, 1977) These are decorated with mythological subjects and have similar flowers and birds reserved in the black background around the scene.
