拍品专文

Johnson was a furniture carver, who adapted Francis Barlow's (circa 1626-1704) illustrations to Aesop's Fables into furniture designs. In the 1750s he published several popular design books, largely rococo in style, including Twelve Girandoles in 1755, for which the present drawing may have been executed.
