"Email: The King's Fool And His Hobby"
Interesting enamel on copper about the king's jester and his hobby, France? Italy? 18th, 19th century? Could this be the portrait of the very famous king's jester, "Triboulet", at the court of France, entertainer of René d'Anjou, king of Naples and Sicily in the 15th century?...Many questions remain, forgive me, the history of enamels escapes me. The grisaille technique remains however very present, the line mastered, the glaze of beautiful quality and the black background very shiny. A legend at the bottom: QUELLI CHI ME SEGVINO ME FANNO RIDERE. In French: Those who follow me make me laugh. Small chips on the edge very acceptable, see the detailed photos. Domed plate. Delivery: 15€ for mainland France.
