This photograph by Edouard Baldus depicts a plaster model for a vault decoration in the Palais du Louvre, designed by François Théophile Murgey. The model, created between 1855 and 1857, showcases a cherub holding a vase and surrounded by elaborate, swirling foliage. This detail, captured in Baldus's precise photographic style, exemplifies the intricate ornamentation that characterized the Louvre's renovation during the Second Empire. The photograph is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection.
