Are you admiring the beautiful 18th c landscape in carved gilt frame?
Hung fashionably by the blue ribbon on the grand papered wall?
Not a wall, nor a painting with its blue ribbon...
But a fabulous trompe l'oeil ...measuring almost 10' tall and 8' wide!
A second magnificent trompe l'oeil ....
4 in all...for sale at Paris auction.
No estimate listed for the price...normally that indicates $$$$$!
Wikipedia describes Trompe l'oeil " art technique that uses realistic images to create the optical illusion ".
And this artist was a Master....
Even more magnificent in person!
Wonder what will be the hammer price...
What would you estimate?
