Vierkant doosje met een landschap in goud op een zwarte ondergrond 1750 - 1800

This small, square box, dating from the late 18th century, is an example of Japanese lacquerware. The black lacquer surface of the box is decorated with a gold design, depicting a landscape with a tree and rocks. This intricate detail and the high quality of the lacquerwork showcase the skill of the anonymous artist who created it. The box, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, likely served a practical purpose, but its refined aesthetics elevate it to a work of art.
