 The Master's border decorations are delicate, foliate motifs reminiscent of the Anjou family's "Bible moralisée".The miniatures are stylistically similar to those of the "Grandes Heures" and the "Belles Heures", which Yolande purchased from her brother-in-law, the Duke de Berry's estate, after his death in 1416.The dark and dramatic tone of The Hours may reflect the tragic defeat of the French at Battle of Agincourt, 25 October 1415.
