Snuffbox 1759 - 1760

This oval snuffbox, created by French artist Jean-Charles-Simphorien Dubos between 1759 and 1760, is a fine example of Rococo decorative art. The lid features an enamel scene depicting a group of figures in a lively, playful interaction, while the sides are adorned with ornate goldwork. This miniature work of art, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, embodies the Rococo style's emphasis on elegance, asymmetry, and playful subject matter.
