While i believe there is evidence of Balneis influence, we shouldn't lose track of the fact that the VM artist most definitely did not intend to copy the image. Q13 as a whole is quite coherent in its motifs and the way it deviates from potential sources. I like to believe that there were some guiding principles in its composition, rather than being a series of bad Balneis copies.
Bad Balneis copies would look completely different.
