Chair panel 1700 - 1715

"Chair Panel" is a painted design by Daniel Marot the Elder from 1700-1715, now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This Rococo style design is typical of Marot's work, featuring intricate floral patterns and a central oval framed with scrolling ribbons and foliage. The oval contains a scene of a reclining nude woman with a male figure, creating a dynamic composition. This design was likely intended for a chair back, demonstrating Marot's influence on French decorative arts.
