Description
Print 1 – Le Panier Mystérieux (The Mysterious Basket)
Decorative reproduction engraving after an 18th-century French Rococo scene from the Louis XV period. The scene depicts an elegant, idyllic encounter in a park-like setting, where a lady and a young man interact in a relaxed and playful atmosphere. The flower basket and the rural setting allude to the refined and romantic visual language typical of French Rococo. The whole exudes lightness, elegance, and an almost theatrical tranquility — characteristic of the decorative arts of that period.
Executed as a later reproduction and set in a heavy classical wooden frame with decorative corner ornaments, giving the whole a warm and stylish appearance.
Print 2 – Les Sabots (The Clogs)
Decorative reproduction engraving after an 18th-century French Rococo scene from the Louis XV period. The image depicts a rural, gallant scene in which a young man and a lady meet in an idyllic setting. The title presumably refers to the wooden clogs depicted and emphasizes the playful character of the scene. The composition combines nature, elegance, and an informal encounter — a beloved theme within French decorative art of that time.
This version is also a later reproduction in a heavy classical wooden frame with decorative details.
General
These are decorative art prints (not original 18th-century engravings). The value lies primarily in the large format, the atmospheric appearance, and the beautiful heavy wooden frames. They look beautiful individually, but together they also form a stylish set for a living room, study, or classical interior.
€ 60 each, € 100 for both
