"Souvenir" is a small, rectangular snuffbox, measuring only 3 1/2 x 2 3/16 in., made by French artist Louis Marie Sicardi in 1770-1771. The box features a miniature portrait of a woman, likely of the French nobility, set within a gold frame and surrounded by intricate gold detailing. The black and gold striped surface of the box is a testament to Sicardi's meticulous craftsmanship, showcasing the fine artistry of 18th century French decorative arts. This small but significant piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is a testament to the elegance and sophistication of the Rococo period in France.
