Bonbonnie`re, or candy box, in intricately patterned gold and translucent, ruby-red enamel. Thin bands of gold are inlaid in the enamel. A painted enamel medallion decorates the lid of the box. A ring of interlacing green enamel outlines the edges of the lid as well as the body of the box. The medallion is an image of a young boy wearing a white outfit and a red belt. He is carrying a feathered hat in his left hand and is standing in a pastoral setting with two doves fighting each other near a spring of water. The theme of childhood appears very late in 18th century paintings. Numerous artists at the end of the 18th century, such as e´lisabeth vige´e le brun, were inspired by the ideas that jean-jacques rousseau presented in his work emile, which was an idealization of a child’s education and a call back to nature and simplicity. This candy box is a good example of this renewed theme of idyllic childhood at the end of the 18th century. Diameter: 2.4 in / height : 0.8 in. Weight: 2.8 oz. 80.4 g gold marks: charge mark: jean-baptiste fouache (1775-1781). Guarantee mark: crowned letter q for paris 1779. Release mark: te^te de singe (monkey head) (1775-1781). Reinspection of gold: te^te d'aigle (eagle head). Master goldsmith rene´ antoine bailleul. Earned master goldsmith title in 1769. The cognacq jay museum in paris has one of his snuff boxes in its collection. Bibliography: louveciennes 2003. L'enfant che´ri au sie`cle des lumie`res.
