Crevettes, support en bronze pour un vase. Martin-pêcheur et poissons, jardinière bronze et émail cloisonné. 1897

This design, "Crevettes, support en bronze pour un vase. Martin-pêcheur et poissons, jardinière bronze et émail cloisonné.", by Maurice Pillard Verneuil, exemplifies the Art Nouveau style popular in the late 19th century. The design features a patterned background with a central vignette of a kingfisher diving toward fish in a pool. The rich colors, organic shapes, and whimsical imagery evoke the movement's appreciation for nature and its emphasis on decorative arts.
