EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithograph print depicts a Platter with the figure of Madame du Barry, painted by Asselin. The image is derived from an illustration by Edouard Garnier, showcasing the soft-paste porcelain of Sevres, created by the renowned French Maison Quantin in Paris during the late 19th century. The platter is adorned with an intricate design of roses and cupids, symbolizing love and passion. The central figure is that of Madame du Barry, the famous French courtesan and mistress to King Louis XV. Her elegant and graceful form is depicted in profile, dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, with her hair styled in the latest trends. Asselin's masterful painting technique is evident in the delicate and lifelike rendering of Madame du Barry's features, as well as the fine details of the roses and cupids decorating the platter. The use of chromolithography, a popular printing technique of the time, allowed for vibrant and detailed color reproduction, bringing the image to life. The soft-paste porcelain of Sevres was renowned for its high-quality and intricate designs, making it a desirable collectible among the European elite. This platter is a testament to the artistic and cultural significance of the Maison Quantin during the late 19th century, and a beautiful representation of the fusion of art, history, and craftsmanship.
