Josse François Le Riche the Younger


Josse François Le Riche the Younger - Old Master Paintings

(Sèvres before 1782 - after 1813 Versailles)
A floral still life of roses, viburnum and tulips,
oil on canvas, 77 x 64 cm, framed

This still life was executed by an as yet unidentified court painter to Queen Marie Antoinette, who was known as Peintre des Bâtiments de la Reine. He was probably Josse François Le Riche the Younger, who was employed as a flower painter at the Porcelain Manufactory at Sèvres from 1782 to 1789. His work for Queen Marie Antoinette began with the decoration of the Belvedere at the Trianon. His relatively limited oeuvre perfectly suited the light, cheerful taste in art reflected in the Louis XVI style.
