François Reuze, maître in 1743.

The oeuvre of François Reuze, almost all executed in a mature Louis XV style, is characterized by its ample, generous proportions and the fluidity of its lines. Based on the rue de Cléry, he worked extensively for the royal court, particularly for Queen Marie Antoinette, and also for the royal court of Sweden.
