label: Description
content: Elevation of three-legged hemicycle console table set with a tall vase with a curved handle, a large, covered jar with acanthus leaf ornamentation, a wide, covered bowl, and an incense burner on a plate. The legs have a foliate pattern that is capped with a leaf motif. The half-circle table-top is ornamented with rinceaux patterns, swags and an architectural entablature motif. The plan view of the table is indicated directly under the elevation. Below the plan is a scale bar of three French feet ("Echelle de 3 Pieds"). The plate is signed but the print has been trimmed and the numbering is no longer visible. Another version of the plate, however, indicates it is number E4 in the series.
