EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century aquarelle print depicts a circular, decorative box adorned with intricate gold and ivory decoration. The box, a fine example of French goldsmithery silverware, is shown in a close-up, studio shot, with its round shape and detailed decorative elements taking center stage. The image, created by an unknown artist from the Ecole Francaise, transports us back to the elegance and refinement of the eighteenth century. The box, with its delicate floral and geometric patterns, is a testament to the rich heritage of French decorative arts. Its circular shape and ornate decoration are reminiscent of the Garten style, popular during this period. The use of gouache and aquarelle techniques adds to the vibrant colors and rich textures of the image. The box, a small yet significant object, is a reminder of the importance of the domestic arts during modern times. It is a rare and precious find, now preserved and showcased in the prestigious Musée Cognacq-Jay in Paris, among other masterpieces of French art. The print also features a female figure, her hand gently resting on the tablets of the box, adding a sense of intimacy and connection to the object. The image invites us to imagine the hands of women of the time, carefully opening and closing the box, cherishing its beauty and intricacy. This unknown work of art, with its timeless appeal and connection to the past, is a reminder of the enduring allure of the decorative arts and the rich cultural heritage they represent.
