Possibly a design for a porcelain lidded box, this work, which includes detailed instructions for the artist regarding the specific details of the piece, is a rare example of an original watercolour design by the Samson factory of Paris. The abbreviated written directions in the center of the image instruct the artist to include the signature 'VP' and to paint a bird motif on the front of the box, the whole of which is to be painted in Marseille colors.
