French School, late 18th century a gold-mounted lacquer snuffbox

with a miniature portrait of a noblewoman as 'La Belle Jardinière', gouache on card, 6.25cm diameter, Following the Rousseauian fashion for glorifying the life of simple shepherds and shepherdesses - amply aided by the bucolic scenes of artists like Boucher and promoted by Queen Marie Antoinette - this miniature of circa 1780 is almost certainly a portrait of an unidentified French noblewoman in this guise.
