Naturalistic flower painting was outstanding at Du Paquier because of the careful use of different techniques to distinguish the textures of flowers, fruits, gourds, reptiles, and small mammals. Fruits such as peaches and grapes were often painted with dots of color, in the miniaturist style that was a specialty of the manufactory; the gnarled skin of melons and gourds was enhanced by fine lines in black ink.
