Descriptive Note
|
Text: Madame Louise of France, the eighth
daughter of the French King Louis XV, probably drank
from this bowl. Known as an écuelle, it would
have held bouillon, which is a light, nourishing broth
taken as a snack between meals. Madame Louise's monogram
ML and the coat of arms of an unmarried royal princess
are painted on the lid and dish. This bowl is an example
of the restrained transitional style characteristic
of the 1760s, when the effusive Rococo style was being
replaced by the tenets of the new Neoclassical style.
