Parant” on the front lower right. Louis Bertin Parant, painter of history, mythology and portraits, on porcelain and ivory. Born in Mers (Indre) 1768, died in Paris in 1851. Present at the Salon from 1800 to 1851, where he obtained medals in 1806 and in 1808. He carried out several works for Napoleon and the court; including portraits of Napoleon himself, Josephine and Louis XVIII. In his paintings, the cherubs are often represented with butterfly wings, round, fleshy faces and curly hair, reminiscent of the pictorial type linked to the Louis XVI period; characteristics present in particular in the painting "allegory of spring". In the other painting, observing the figure of Juno, her placement, the raised arm, the position of the hands, the naked torso, the drapery, in all this we find pictorial analogies; with the paintings of the famous Medici vases in hard Sèvres porcelain, Louis XVIII, from 1826, present at the Louvre Museum. The plates, in excellent condition, are framed in precious mahogany frames, with rich applications of chiseled and gilded bronze.
