Three-leaf screen with gouache drawings 1800 - 1815

This three-leaf screen, created by Johannes Klinkerfuss between 1800 and 1815, is a beautiful example of decorative art from the early 19th century. Each panel of the screen features a gouache painting depicting a vase overflowing with vibrant flowers. The intricate details and vivid colors bring the floral arrangements to life, making the screen a stunning and eye-catching piece. The screen, which is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, was likely used to provide privacy or to enhance the aesthetic appeal of a room. It is a testament to the skill and artistry of Klinkerfuss, a German painter active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
