Title: Minstrel Boy, 1956-1957 [Go to resource]
Description: Jean Antoinne Watteau painted many pictures of scenes such as this - 'Les Charmes de la Vie' in the Wallace Collection or 'Merry Company in the Open Air' in Gemäldegalerie, Dresden, being two famous examples. All feature rich gentlemen and ladies having a jolly time in the open air often, as here, being serenaded by a musician. Watteau was much imitated and the illustration on this tin may be by one of his imitators. Another example in the Reading collection has the remains of sticker still in place which indicates that it originally contained Assorted Biscuits.
