The scene chased on the base is after 'L'Amour Vendangeur' painted in the early 1730s by François Boucher (1703-1770) and part of a set of four commissioned by his first important Parisian patron, the lawyer François Derbais. It associates Love (in the guise of cupid) with wine-making or drink, and would have served to represent Autumn in the set of seasonal allegories.
Boucher was a very prolific artist and produced a wide range of artworks from pastoral paintings, porcelain and tapestry designs as well as stage designs which deeply influenced the new Rococo movement and were an important source of inspiration to all artists, notably snuff-box makers.
