Watch first half 18th century Watchmaker: Jean Romilly The story of Roman Charity, as recounted in Book IX of De Factis Dictisque Memorabilis by the Roman historian Valerius Maximus, was well known in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Europe. As a representation of filial piety, it was the subject of many paintings, including several by Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640). The origin of the version used by the Huauds is not known, and the female figure of Pero, who breastfed her incarcerated father, Cimon, in order to save him from starvation, may in fact record a living model. The watchcase was one of the Huauds more popular designs, probably as much for its liberal exposure of feminine flesh as for the moral of the story.. Watch. French, Paris. first half 18th century. Painted enamel on gold. Horology
