Quatre Saisons
Four delicate ivory statuettes personify the four seasons, each figure masterfully carved with intricate detail and expressive elegance characteristic of the French decorative tradition. The luminous warmth of the ivory contrasts beautifully against the rich, dark ebonised wood bases, creating a striking interplay of light and shadow. Attributed to the circle of Jean Antoine Belleteste, these refined miniature sculptures exemplify the exquisite craftsmanship and refined aesthetic sensibility of 18th-century French decorative arts.
