Snuff box c.1756 - Birmingham coloured transfer prints after Watteau Watteau, Antoine (1684-1721). A French rococo artist whose charming and graceful paintings show his interest in theatre and ballet, Antoine Watteau is probably best known for his fetes galantes. These romantic and idealized scenes depict elaborately costumed ladies and gentlemen at play in fanciful outdoor settings. Sothebys 固opFoto
