Lot Essay
The present grisaille enamels are executed in the manner of Jaques Laudin (1627-1695), who executed several series of medallions of the Twelve Caesars. Examples of these enamels can be found in the Louvre collection and also in the former Reculés collection. Laudin's son, also named Jaques carried on his fathers work into the begining of the 18th century.
