In creating the two paintings, the artist used materials that had never before been used in furniture marquetry, such as ivory and mother-of-pearl, making it a unique work of its kind. Work published in several volumes dedicated to the history of neoclassical Milanese furniture. Possibility of purchasing the pair of panels at a negotiable price.
