拍品专文

Jacques-Frederick Kirstenstein (1765-1838) flourished during the Empire and Restoration. He was famous for vases, plaques and snuff-box tops in high and low relief. The brilliance of his work was not only in the execution, but in the variety of subjects he accomplished with seldom any duplication. He used the abbreviated signature 'Kirstein' or 'Kirsten'.
