Pen Box with European Women and Birds in a Landscape
View through Harvard Museums
Cover and sliding compartment with rounded ends. The top is decorated in vertical format with a young girl in European dress and an apron full of flowers. A smaller female with an apron full of flowers arranges flowers in her hair at the bottom. A spotted dog sits at her feet. The figures are surrounded by flowers and bird-filled trees against a light brown ground. The sides are virtually identical, with an architectural vignette enclosed by trees and flowers in the center; on either side of the vignette, a floral spray extends to the ends. The base and sliding compartment are decorated with trees, shrubs, and buildings painted in gold on a red background.
