This oval-shaped gold snuff box, crafted by Nicolas-Augustin Delions between 1773-1774, features a delicate enamel miniature portrait of Anna van Barnevelt (1725-1789). The box showcases the craftsmanship of the Rococo period, with elaborate ornamentation including intricate floral patterns, delicate scrollwork, and a finely engraved surface.
