Covered box c. 1905

Jacques Sicard's "Covered box" is a small, ceramic work of art that exemplifies Art Nouveau design. Dating back to c. 1905, the box features an iridescent glaze in shades of green, pink, and purple, adorned with a delicate floral pattern. This intricate design, characteristic of Art Nouveau, emphasizes nature's organic forms and reflects the movement's aesthetic ideals. The piece, currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, showcases Sicard's skill in crafting functional yet aesthetically pleasing objects.
