EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite aquarelle print, dating between 1768 and 1774, showcases a circular box adorned with intricate decorative elements. The box, which is reminiscent of the Rococo era, is made of goldsmithery silverware and features ivory inlays, crystal embellishments, and delicate floral designs. The central motif of the box is a miniature portrait of a young woman, possibly a milkmaid, depicted in a pastoral setting. The woman is shown in a thoughtful pose, holding a pitcher and gazing off into the distance. The box's decorative elements are further enhanced by the use of gouache and grease jean baptiste techniques, creating a rich and vibrant color palette. The box, which is of French origin and is a fine example of the Ecole Francaise decorative arts, is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistic talent of the time. Its round shape and close-up perspective give the image an intimate and introspective feel, making it a beautiful and intriguing object of heritage art. The box's location is unknown, but it is now part of the collection of the Musée Cognacq-Jay in Paris, one of the city's most esteemed museums. This mysterious and enchanting box invites us to imagine the stories and secrets it may hold, and serves as a reminder of the beauty and artistry of the 18th century.
