Chicago Painting on an Easel Porcelain Limoges Box
An artist's easel holds a painting of Chicago, as if a plein air painter has just stepped away from the canvas. The whole studio moment was shaped in porcelain and painted by hand in Limoges, France.
The Windy City on Canvas
Chicago has inspired painters with its lakefront, its river bridges and a skyline that helped invent the modern skyscraper. Setting that city on an easel turns this box into a tribute to both the place and the people who try to capture it in paint.
An Artist's Corner
- Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
- Fits a fine art, painter or city themed collection
- Pairs with palette, paintbrush and other easel pieces
Hometown Pride
It suits a Chicago native living far from home, a couple who met in the city, an art teacher, or a museum member who never misses a new exhibition. Give it as a housewarming present for a new Chicago apartment or as a retirement nod to a working artist. On a studio shelf or a desk beside sketchbooks, it feels right at home.
Painted by hand after firing, the little canvas is itself a painting on porcelain, which gives the piece a pleasing double meaning.
