EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning tray from 1772, made of soft paste porcelain. Created by the renowned artist Francois Boucher and associated with the Sevres Porcelain Factory, this exquisite piece is currently housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford. The tray features a beautiful blue ground, adorned with intricate paintings and gilt accents. Its dimensions measure approximately 17.7 cm in height, making it a delicate yet striking work of art. The scene depicted on the tray transports viewers to a bucolic countryside setting, evoking feelings of love and pastoralism. Two figures, possibly lovers or shepherds and shepherdesses, are captured amidst a rural landscape. The ceramic craftsmanship adds an element of elegance to this romantic tableau. Notably, there is an air of mystery surrounding this artwork as well. With references to espionage and spying mentioned in its description, one can't help but wonder about the hidden narratives within this seemingly idyllic scene. Overall, this tray represents not only an exceptional example of rococo art movement but also serves as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship that was prevalent during the 18th century. It stands as both an object d'art and a glimpse into history's rich tapestry.
