## Commentary

This engraving shows a design by Juste-Aurèle Meissonnier, a versatile ornamental decorator. The engraving by Gabriel Huquier comes from a volume of plates after Meissonnier&#39;s work. The plates are, for the most part, the only record of Meissonnier&#39;s varied works in painting, sculpture, metalwork, and architecture.
