Ornamental rococo frame surrounding a scene representing Artemis/Diana sitting on clouds with, behind her, a monumental doorway and hunters in a landscape.

Often pictures would be set into the boiseries, the carving framing the picture rather like a conventional frame. After Antoine Watteau ( 1684 - 1721), from the 'Recueil Jullienne' series, Plate 87 to 'L'Oeuvre d'Antoine Watteau Peintre du Roy'. Jean de Jullienne (1686 - 1766) was a Parisian collector and patron of the arts who owned some 450 drawings by Watteau, and had them engraved.
