Plaque 1730 - 1740

This 18th century plaque by Jean-Baptiste Guillibaud, a French artist born in 1720, is a fine example of Rococo art. The plaque depicts a woman in a garden setting, surrounded by lush foliage and flowers. The woman's posture and the intricate floral designs that frame the scene are characteristic of the Rococo style, which emphasized elegance, playfulness, and the beauty of nature. The plaque is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY.
