Folding rough with double leaf of thin leather and painting in gouache; Mounting of ivory, Ajour and in relief sliced with gold and silver topped and background of mother-of-pearl, close pin with a strass. On a fond with vertical stripes between which roses and flower garlands, which shows close relationship with French silk fabrics from this period, an oval and two rectangular thumbnails in golden lists and two diamond-shaped grisailles are placed in a symmetrical pattern. The trompe-l'oeil effect is reinforced by the small bow ribbons above every miniature in the central medallion a outside party with stylishly dressed children and a floral feeder. In the square miniatures on either side of these allegorical representations on love with left in the middle a putto with flower garland and on the right a putto with a mask. Known love symbols have also been processed in the grisailles, such as the outstanding mouse trap on the left, which has been compared to the fall in which the lover walks from the 17th century and the bird to the right. The leaf-filling pastoral representation on the leaves at the rear is painted much less detailed. However, the face seems very similar to one of the girls at the front and both paintings might be of the same hand. The floral and love theme of the leaf returns to the frame of the frame. In the middle frame a man gives a flower to a woman and in the reserves right and left two children playing a floral wreath and a flower basket. In between from seed beads built cartouches with pastoral and music trophy, vases with flowers, birds and loose flowers. On the outside legs, among other things, two tubers.
