Source Description
The “front” reserve of this white vase was decorated by Charles-Nicolas Dodin (1734–1803), after François Boucher’s painting Interrupted Sleep, which was also known through an engraving. This painting of a shepherd teasing a sleeping shepherdess was made for the château de Bellevue for Madame de Pompadour, royal mistress to King Louis XV.
