Two Torchères. Artist: After Jean Berain (French, Saint-Mihiel 1640-1711 Paris); Juan Dolivar (Spanish, Zaragoza 1641-1692 Paris). Dimensions: plate: 11 7/16 x 7 7/8 in. (29 x 20 cm) sheet: 17 15/16 x 11 5/8 in. (45.5 x 29.5 cm). Date: 1692. Etching and engraving with designs for two torchères, created by Juan Dolivar after designs by Jean I Berain. Entrusted with drawings for costumes, stage sets, and royal ceremonies at the 'Academie Royale de la Musique' since 1680, Berain's ingenious creations took acanthus and laurel leaves, palmettes and grotesques, mixing them with dancers, acrobats, monkeys and satyrs, to create his own, imaginative, theatrical world.

Above her, and flanking the upper part of the base is a semi-circle with a rosette, framed by Greek scrolls and tassels.

Upon this column stands another ornamental vase, decorated with thin garlands of leaves, interlacing strapwork, and tassels, flanked above b
