Madrid (Spain), 1762 - Madrid (Spain), 1808
See author's fileThis hardstone panel was made in the Real Laboratorio del Buen Retiro, a manufactory founded by Charles III in Madrid in 1762. Employing specialists summoned from Naples, where the King had established a similar institution, it was active until 1808. This example seems to date from the last years of the Madrid manufactory’s activity.
