Little boy holding a wreath and basket of flowers, from Deuxième Livre de Figures d'après les porcelaines de la Manufacture Royale de France (Second Book of Figures after porcelains from the Manufacture Royale de France) 1757 - 1771

This engraving by Pierre François Tardieu from 1757-1771 depicts a young boy holding a wreath and a basket of flowers. The image is likely from a series of engravings after porcelain designs made at the Manufacture Royale de France. The boy, dressed in simple clothing, stands against a tree trunk with a landscape background. The image showcases the delicate details and intricate craftsmanship of the original porcelain designs. This artwork is a beautiful example of the Rococo style and is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
