The Painter in His Studio (by François Boucher) Metal Ornament

This design features a painting by the French artist François Boucher (1703–1770). It depicts a young gentleman who is working on a canvas painting. He is holding his artist's palette in one hand and his paintbrush in another. He is painting a landscape scene with coastal cliffs and water. The artist himself is wearing a red coat and red cap; he is also wearing brown boots. He appears to be consulting his notes as he thinks about how to finish the painting.
