Bird painting has always been popular at Sèvres. The birds ( oiseaux ) on this sugar bowl are drawn from engravings in Histoire naturelle des oiseaux , an 18th-century natural history treatise by the French naturalist Georges-Louis Leclerc, comte de Buffon (1707–88). These engravings were first used as source material at Sèvres in 1781.
