Signed on the movement. In good condition. Diam. 57 mm. Notes Jean-Francois-Victor Dupont, 1785-1863, probably the finest painter in enamel of his age working in Geneva. His work included portraits of distinguished personages ( King George IV, Henry VI etc.) as well as boxes and particularly watches destined for the Chinese market. For the latter he cooperated frequently with Ilbery as well as Piguet & Meylan. A particular feature of his work was his ability to paint a group of figures posed in the same plane without giving an impression of overcrowding. The distinctive palette may well derive from the Tact that he mixed his own colours.
