Jean Henri Riesener French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 524

1783년에 장 앙리 리즈네르는 마리 앙투아네트를 위해 지금은 박물관 컬렉션에 있는 서랍장과 함께 이 찬란한 책상을 만들었습니다. 그녀의 어머니인 오스트리아의 마리아 테레사 왕후로부터 상속받은 옻 상자를 보관했던 베르사유에 있는 여왕의 방을 위해 의뢰되었습니다. 선정한 17세기 옻의 조각들이 이러한 왕실 조각들을 위한 표면 마무리로 재사용되었습니다. 빛나는 흑색 및 금색 옻과 찬란한 흑단은 자연주의적인 화환과 얽힌 화관으로 구성된 뛰어난 동도금을 하기 위한 두드러진 배경을 형성합니다. 여왕의 이름 첫 글자가 윗면의 프리즈 중앙에 결합되었습니다.
