About the workPlayful, charming and elegant – this is how the Rococo style of decoration, popular in the eighteenth century, can be described. These six structures, referred to as “huts” on the title page, can be attributed to this style, originally from France. Delicate plants and architectural elements are combined to form asymmetrical shapes, each containing a figure. The airy pictures were designed by Jean Pillement, a painter and decorator who worked in various European metropolises. However, they were engraved by the Parisian copperplate engraver Jeanne Deny.
