EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century enamel medallion by Etienne Tourrette showcases a young woman with fiery red hair and a thoughtful expression, her profile framed against a lush backdrop of papyrus plants. The intricate enamelwork, executed in the bassetaille technique, features delicate layers of color and gold leaf, creating a stunning visual texture. The woman's ginger hair stands out against the verdant greens of the papyrus, adding a pop of vibrancy to the piece. Etienne Tourrette (1858-1931) was a renowned French enamel artist, known for his mastery of the enamel metal technique. His works often featured naturalistic subjects, such as flowers, fruits, and landscapes, as well as portraits of women. This medallion, with its elegant profile portrait and decorative papyrus motif, is a prime example of Tourrette's skill and artistry. The medallion is a testament to the rich heritage of French decorative arts, and can be found in various museums and institutions in Paris, including the Musée du Petit Palais. The enamelware, with its intricate design and fine details, has stood the test of time, offering a glimpse into the artistic traditions of the past. This image invites us to reflect on the beauty of nature and the artistry of the human hand, as well as the enduring allure of a young woman's profile. The red hair, framed by the delicate papyrus plants, adds a sense of mystery and intrigue, making this a truly captivating work of art.
