The scene on the interior of the cover is taken from F. Joullain’s engraving of 1751 which was after Jean-Marc Nattier’s painting of 1744. See Barbara Beaucamp-Markowsky, Boîtes en Porcelaine, des manufactures européennes au 18e siècle, Fribourg, 1985, p. 117 where the engraving is illustrated, and where the author notes the engraving was also used as a source of inspiration by J.W. Lanz at Frankenthal (see lot 173), and where other boxes with the same scene on the interior are noted.
