On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 529

Martin Carlin era conhecido por seu mobiliário elegante, decorado com porcelana de Sèvres. O painel central desta secretária de porcelana, pintada por Edmé-François Bouillat, tem, na parte posterior, uma letra que corresponde ao ano 1776. A primeira proprietária da secretária foi a soprano Marie-Joséphine Laguerre, que desfrutou de uma vida dissoluta e luxuosa, graças a seus amantes ricos. Mais tarde, foi adquirido por Maria Feodorovna, quando ainda era grã-duquesa da Rússia, durante uma visita a Paris, em 1782.
