AFTER THE ROUSSEAU FRÈRES, 19TH CENTURY

The present lot is based on a series of boiserie panels in the apartments of Louis XVI's brother the comte d'Artois at Versailles, known as the cabinet turc. The original door panels, now located at the Louvre, were painted by the Rousseau frères were apart a part of a large decorative scheme by Francois-Joseph Bélanger alongside his brother-in-law Jean-Démosthène.
