Lot Essay

The scene copies an engraving after 'Fêtes Champêtre' by David Teniers. Services with this design were made in various palettes and more rarely as a design on Canton enamel (see lot 19). A pair of similarly decorated plates from the Dr Anton C. R. Dreesmann Collection was sold in these Rooms, 10 April 2002, lot 428.
