Note du spécialiste


This vase is an example of the artist Juliette Vesque 's (1881-1962) early work at the Sèvres manufactory, where she worked, together with her sister Marthe, from c. 1901 to 1925, specialising in botanical subjects. The sisters were both artists, well-known for documenting Parisian circus life in their paintings and sketches. They left Sèvres when its style became too modern for their taste and subsquently worked at the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, depicting natural history specimens.
