Design for a Renaissance Style Pendant
Henri Cameré (signed by artist), c. 1864 - c. 1894
This pencil drawing recalls the multicoloured enamelled pendants from the 16th century. Enamelwork had long been out of fashion, but new life was breathed into this technique for jewellery in neo-styles. Although this design is clearly based on earlier examples, the drawing is characterized by a gracefulness and elegance typical of the second half of the 19th century.
