Vase with cover (vase à bandes) (one of a pair)
The bucolic scenes on the front of these vases (see also 58.75.68a, b) are after compositions by the French painter Jean-Antoine Watteau (1684–1721). Engraved together on one copper plate by Louis Crépy in 1729, L'heureux moment (the happy moment) and Le berger content (the content shepherd) were, as a result, printed on the same sheet of paper and often used as a pair.
