Design for two cases for portrait miniatures and two love jewels

1770 - 1770

Two cases for portrait miniatures with frames of flowers and fruit entwined with flexible ribbons surmounted by crowns. Two love jewels: A heart is held in a scarf entwined with flowers hanging from a plumed hat, surmounted by a bouquet with a dove - sacred to Venus; two flaming hearts are tied together with ribbons, surmounted by a garlanded burning hymeneal torch, flanked by turtle doves.
