label: Description
content: Design for a set of interior double doors (with only the top section visible) and an overdoor painting decorated with highly sculpted rococo paneling (boiseries), featuring flowering sprigs, flowers, c-scrolls, cartouches, shell and wave motifs, scrolling leaves (rinceaux), and dragons. The overdoor painting depicts a pastoral scene with a couple sitting in a landscape with a couple of buildings in the background. The man plays the flute and the woman holds a shepherd’s stick, sheep and a dog by their side. The plate is numbered and signed with the previous publishers’ address removed but still partly visible.
