About the Item
This fine, antique portrait miniature was made after Boucher's famous painting of Madame de Pompadour, the highly celebrated official mistress of King Louis XV of France. It depicts de Pompadour in a ruffled blue, silk dress with fashionably powdered hair and a book in her hand as she reclines on a chaise longue in a plush interior with a spaniel at her feet. The miniature is set in a silver gilt frame, surmounted by de Pompadour's personal crest - three turrets in triangular formation.
Inside the frame are two pieces of paper. On one are several handwritten lines from Alexander Pope's 1714 poem 'The Rape of the Lock,' and the other is a description of the portrait along with other descriptions of objects belonging to F. Sanders Morris, a former owner of the miniature. There is writing on the back of the frame, which reads 'this is a miniature after the painting by Boucher (now owned by Baron Adolph de Rothschild), a very beautiful example of the miniature art.'

- Rococo painting with frame by 18th-century Venetian school oil on canvasLocated in Florence, ITThe painting (with a Salvador Rosa-style gilded frame 88 x 116 cm) depicts a group of four children who are playing outside on a swinging seesaw; we are probably dealing with a prank, as can be seen by the satisfied expression of the child on the right at the expense of the one in the foreground, who seems to be supported by the others, perhaps because of the fear felt. They are dressed in the same way, with black or brown ankle boots and a kind of double-breasted jumpsuit with a rich lace collar reminiscent of the jabots of dames, blue for the one in the foreground, brick-colored for the other three. Children also look alike in the hair, typical of the period, and features, suggesting a kinship relationship. We find the same subject, for example, in Johann Zoffany...Category
