The illustrated maxims, circa 1750-1760
Amazing and very interesting folded fan, the very finely painted cabretille double leaf with 14 small subjects illustrating the maxims placed in the title. Thus, "Hope and suffering" shows a heart pierced by a marine anchor; "Fidelity deserves love" presents a dog in front of its mistress.
The white mother-of-pearl frame is very finely pierced, engraved, burgundy with grape-picker loves, and painted with fruit.
H.t. 27 cm-H.F. 12 cm (accidents, missing one strand) Automatically translated by DeepL. To see the original version, click here.
