11. Pierre-Georges Deraisme, "Putti Playing Blind Man’s Bluff," "Putti with a Perching Cat,” 1898

Bijoux Parisiens

Pierre–Georges Deraisme was the first of his generation to draw inspiration from the 18th century pictorial tradition of frolicking and music-making angels and cupids. Within a few years, Léopold Gautrait and Charles Jacqueau would also turn to the 18th century for design ideas for jewelry, as will be seen later in the exhibition.
