Snuffbox with six scenes of putti at play 1756 - 1766

This exquisitely crafted snuffbox, created by Jean Georges between 1756 and 1766, features six miniature scenes of cherubs at play. The intricate gold box, set with diamonds and adorned with delicate floral motifs, showcases the artistry of the Rococo period. The miniature scenes, painted on enamel, depict cherubs engaged in various playful activities, reflecting the lightheartedness and elegance of the era. This small but highly detailed work of art is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
