Detail of one of the decorative paintings on the funnel casings representing the Pavillon Français in the gardens of the Petit Trianon at Versailles.

The Pavillon Français was erected by Ange-Jacques Gabriel (1698-1782), Premier Architecte and Director of the Académie Royale d’Architecture, in 1749-50. It was conceived as a private retreat from court for Louis XV and the Marquise de Pompadour.
