Description
An early Worcester teabowl c.1755, printed in black in the 'Smoky Primitive' manner with La Cascade, a courting couple promenading in a garden while further figures recline in the background, the reverse with a fountain from the original print, 8cm dia.
Provenance: the Professor Richard Clarke Collection. Purchased from Simon Spero in 2001.
This print derives from an engraving by G Scotin, after a painting by Jean-Antoine Watteau, which is in the Wallace Collection.
