A striking three-panel folding screen featuring a dramatic hand-painted depiction of Napoleon Crossing the Alps, after Jacques-Louis David’s iconic early-19th-century portrait. The scene captures Napoleon in full command on a rearing white steed, rendered with expressive brushwork and vivid colour against a mountainous backdrop.
Each panel is finished in a crackle-paint frame with gilt detailing and ornate carved scrollwork cresting. The painterly surface shows beautiful age and craquelure, enhancing its old-world grandeur. Both sculptural and functional, this piece makes a bold statement as a decorative divider or as wall art behind a sofa, bed, or console. Marks consistent with age - see photos for more.
