Description
Commercial cardboard box from the chocolate house Foucher Paris. A wallpaper print drawing by Pierre PLANCHENU is placed on the lid. It depicts a woman struggling against the wind in the middle of a cloudy landscape. She is dressed in a hat and a green suit with a black sleeve. A long scarf with floral embroidery around her neck flutters in the wind. Next to her, a fine Labrador retriever raises his head in the wind. A line of horizons, hills planted with cypress trees, and the silhouette of a bird can be seen on the sides. The inside of the box is covered with a shimmering paper with purple and pearly iridescences. A pink diamond-shaped insert inscribes the name of the house in the middle.Materials
