Design for a hand-screen
Active selection in cart:
| Caption | Small hand-screens, mounted on a short handle, were used to protect the face from the heat and glare of an open fire. Their decoration exercised the inventive powers of many rococo artists. Here flowers, foliage, a shell and an insect have been combined into an asymmetrical, ornamental border. Between 1738 and 1749 Huquier published an engraving based on this watercolour. Date: c 1738 – c 1749. Object ID: RP-T-2014-54-1. |
