Description: | Signed: yes Description: A scene of everyday life, with unusual subject matter, by Jacques Vigouroux Duplessis, a painter of mainly decorative objects and scenes. Little is known about this artist, who in 1721 was appointed an instructor of design at the Royal Tapestry Manufacture (factory) in Beauvais where he remained until 1726. It is possible that this work was painted to serve as a signboard over a notary's office, just as Watteau did a similar work (1720, Gersaint's Shop Sign, Charlottenburg Palace Berlin) for the shop of Edme Gersaint, an art dealer in Paris. Other works by Duplessis are in the Jacquement-André Museum, Paris. | Subjects: | everyday life; trade and industry | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Duplessis, Jacques Vigoureux (French painter, act.1699-1730) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8807... | Go to resource |
