Joaillerie: Album of Jewelry Designs, Page 7 1770 or after Anonymous, French Seventh page of a small album containing drawings with jewelry designs copied after the prints by L. van der Cruycen, "Nouveau Livre de Desseins..." (New Book of Designs...), published in Paris in 1770. The designs in this page are for a large bouquet brooch and a motif with tassels, both of them characteristic of the style in vogue during the reign of Louis XVI in France, displaying a serendipitous flavor, with asymmetrical forms, "rocaille" and stylized natural motifs, and heavily decorated with flowers, ribbons and tassels, thus representing the taste of the Rococo style, which was fashionable in France and Europe during the eighteenth century. The elaborately carved forms presented in the designs were particularly sought after during the third quarter of the eighteenth century, and were to be accomplished by skilled artisans who would work out the decorations by hand.The design for a bouquet brooch is made

Study of a Tree in the Luxembourg Gardens 1773 Pierre Henri de Valenciennes French Valenciennes was a central figure in the development of landscape painting in French art, effectively elevating its status through his promotion of the "historical landscape." According to his writings, such constructed scenes should be based on the direct study of nature. This recently acquired sheet was made, according to the inscription, in the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris when the artist was only twenty-three years old. He does not represent the setting but rather focuses on a single tree with gnarled and interlocking branches, each twist, knot, and broken branch chronicling the incidents and losses of an eventful life..

Pictorial Hanging, c. 1825, L.83-3/4 x W.42-1/8 in, Embroidered silk damask, China, 19th century, This embroidered wall hanging was most likely commissioned to commemorate the very type of family ritual scene it depicts. In the center is shown an aristocratic couple in semiformal court dress seated in an outdoor setting amongst clouds, peonies and chrysanthemums. In what is likely a coming-of-age ceremony for their son, the seated parents are attended by dignitaries and invited guests, one of which hold a pair of ritual wine vessels called chueh for use in the upcoming ceremony. Important occasions like weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and coming-of-age rituals often were commemorated with pictorial embroideries such as this.

Flower Painting, late 18th century, Mianyi, Chinese, 1764 - 1815, 5 1/2 x 14 3/16 in. (13.97 x 36.04 cm), Ink and color on paper, China, 18th century, These delicate flower studies were painted by Mianyi, an imperial prince who lived in Beijing during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The four double leaves originally formed an album that was once in the imperial collection. The frontispiece, in fact, bears the seal of the Jia Jing emperor who reigned from 1796 to 1821. Like most of the educated elite, Mianyi was well versed in classical literature, music, and calligraphy, but he excelled at painting and is best known for his flower studies, The use of color (versus ink), interest in descriptive detail, and facile technique are typical not only of Prince Chen, but of Chinese court taste in general during the eighteenth century. This album illustrates the type of amateur painting practiced among the court intelligentsia. Descriptive, technically accomplished and decora
