Tray
Jean Chauvaux le jeune (French, 1735-1807)1776
The Walters Art Museum
Baltimore, United States
Jean Chauvaux the Younger decorated this white ground, hard-paste porcelain tray with a fanciful pseudo-Chinese scene, in which a woman holding an apple with one hand gestures with the other toward a prostrate youth at her side. Chauvaux might have drawn his inspiration for the scene from the work of François Boucher.
