Watch 1780 - 1795

This miniature watch, created by Pierre Gregson between 1780 and 1795, is a fine example of 18th-century decorative arts. The watch's enamel case is adorned with a charming scene depicting a woman and two children in a pastoral setting, a popular subject in decorative arts of the time. The watch is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY. Gregson, born in 1778 and dying in 1795, was a prolific artist whose works showcase exquisite details and delicate execution.
