The painting style features a delicate pastel/ochre colour palette and meticulous attention to detail in the faces, clothing and elements of the surrounding landscape. Pastoral and gallant scenes were very popular in decorative art at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, symbolising the refinement, romantic ideals and aesthetic moods of the Sentimentalism and early Biedermeier periods.

Johann (I) Stobwasser’s manufactory in Braunschweig became widely known at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries for its production of lacquered and painted decorative items. Its name is often associated with a certain style – delicate miniature painting under lacquer, soft pastel or ochre colours, as well as scenes and pastoral motifs. Stowasser and the workshops in his circle produced various items, mainly boxes and cases (including snuffboxes and tobacco jars), decorative boxes, often made of papier-mâché or lacquered metal, which were popular among the European bourgeoisie and nobility. Comes as shown in pictures. Condition and size shown in photos. The item belongs to the’Antiques’ category; items may show signs of use, minor scratches, some dirt and texture changes caused by the natural ageing process. Thank you for looking! I look forward to hearing from you.
