Panel

ca. 1776
Not on view
Roland was in charge of the decoration of the Château de Bagatelle, built for the comte d'Artois (the future king Charles X) in 1777 (see 07.225.17a, b for overdoors from the billiards room of Bagatelle). Roland provided Lhuillier with a terracotta model for 07.225.18, which Lhuillier completed in wood. The eagles may refer to Artois's military honors: he was Colonel General of the Swiss Guards and Grand Master of the Artillery.
