Lot Essay

The painter's mark is that either of Jean-Jacques Pierre le jeune, recorded at Sèvres as a flower painter 1763 -1800, or of his wife Mme Anne-Victoire Pierre, daughter of the bird painter Armand l'aîné and recorded as a flower painter 1777-1784 and again in 1794.

Michel-Barnabé Chauvaux l'aîné is recorded at both Vincennes and Sèvres as a gilder 1752-1788.
