Piece 1785 - 1788

"Piece" is a wallpaper design by French artist Jean-Baptiste Huet I, created between 1785 and 1788. The design features a whimsical, exotic scene populated with fantastical animals like ostriches, elephants, and monkeys, amidst a lush landscape. The white figures and foliage contrast dramatically against the dark background, creating a striking visual effect. The wallpaper was likely intended to add a touch of exoticism and elegance to interiors of the time, reflecting the growing interest in global exploration and the natural world during the Enlightenment period. "Piece" is a testament to Huet's talent for design and his ability to capture the spirit of his age.
