Lot Essay

Antoine-Toussaint Cornailles is recorded at Vincennes and Sèvres as a flower painter 1755-1800.

See Collection Charles-Otto Zieseniss; Christie's, Paris, 6 December 2001, lots 222 and 223 for two variations on the present ground pattern - one circa 1767 and made for the comte de Châtelet, the other circa 1800 and likely that sold to the banker Jean-Frédéric Perregaux.
