Lot 888
Davin (late 18th/early 19th century) French school, a miniature on ivory depicting "The Happy Awakening" - a Titian haired nude woman in a bed with her clothes being removed by a putto, signed, oval, 8.8cm x 12.8cm; set in a Continental .800 silver frame with leaf tip carved mother-of-pearl border and pierced scrolling surmount centred by love birds on a basket, the reverse with oval inset ivory miniature decorated with a blindfolded Cupid being led by a dog, in blue and white, 5.9cm high, within a tortoiseshell surround; overall 14.5cm high x 15.8cm wide. Illustrated. Footnote: the symbolism of 'sensuality being awoken by love' to the front is juxtaposed by the reverse where love is, in turn, guided by the mind- the blindfold figure of Cupid echoing Shakespeare's verse; "Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind." The surname Davin is uncommon at this period but is most often associated with the French female artist Césarine Henriette Flore Davin-Mirvault (1773-1844).
