EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century aquarelle print showcases a decorative box, believed to have been created between 1768 and 1774. The box, a masterpiece of the decorative arts, is adorned with intricate gold and silver filigree, crystal embellishments, and ivory inlays. The cover, featuring a close-up image of a grey-haired man in deep contemplation, is attributed to the renowned French painter Jean Baptiste Greuze (1725-1805). The box's lid, which is open in this image, reveals a series of tablets, each bearing a different scene. The scenes, painted in gouache, depict various aspects of rural life, including a gardener tending to his flowers and a mother cradling her child. The box's interior is equally impressive, with its delicate goldsmithery and meticulous attention to detail. This box, now a cherished object in the collection of Musée Cognacq-Jay in Paris, is a testament to the artistic and craftsmanship skills of the time. The print, which captures the box in a studio shot, invites us to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of this antique treasure from the 18th century.
