Chair panel 1700 - 1715

"Chair panel" is an example of decorative arts created by renowned French designer Daniel Marot the Elder between 1700 and 1715. This panel, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, features a central oval depicting a scene from mythology surrounded by elaborate rococo ornamentation including floral motifs and putti. The piece demonstrates Marot's mastery of intricate details and the French Rococo style's signature playful and asymmetrical design, which was popular during the early 18th century.
