About the piece

This charming 1750 oil painting from the Musée d'art et d'histoire de Narbonne serves as both a historical record and a masterpiece of provincial decoration. It meticulously lists the arrival and departure times of mail couriers, framed by elegant heraldic elements, playful cherubs, and delicate floral vines. The central crest and the figure of a post-rider add a sense of official importance to this beautifully preserved piece of French history.
