Watch 1835 - 1845

This 19th century watch, made by French artist Bolviller between 1835 and 1845, is a fine example of miniature painting and craftsmanship. The watch is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and features a painted enamel scene set within an ornate silver frame. The scene depicts two women, one cloaked in black and the other in white, sitting in a park. The watch, with its detailed painting and elegant design, demonstrates the skill and artistry employed in the creation of such small objects during the 19th century.
