The shop first appears on the scene during the late 1230s, and an oeuvre of 39 manuscripts has been identified. The workshop's oldest dated work is a missal made for Rouen Cathedral between 1235 and 1245.The style used by the Grusch artists consists of flat little figures with inked draperies of a fairly irregular sort. The figures have white heads with small features, short-bearded chins on the men, and pursed mouths. The ornament includes vine scrolls that loop around themselves, as well as a variety of grotesque and hybrid monsters. Another feature of the style is the treatment of the hair, arranged in neat rows of curls. A large number of painters were apparently associated with this workshop, which changed its style considerably over its 30-year period of activity. Its paintings can be divided into early, middle, and late styles.
