One of a Pair of Vases (Vase à feuilles de laurier)
(18th and 19th Centuries )
This vase and its pair (48.626) are decorated with the "bleu nouveau" ground color and have handles in the form of rings of laurel leaves. The vases are decorated with panels showing amorous shepherds and shepherdesses. Pithou the elder painted these scenes after François Boucher's paintings "La Musique pastorale" and "Les Amusements de la campagne" (1743).
