Specimen from Ayudhaya with a design representing Louis XIV of France and King Aurung Zebe of India. Here the artist had to represent a non-traditional subject with the result a rather 'baroque' composition where the balance of the dark and light values does not correspond to the classic Thai style of the lacquer works. By Comparing this specimen of the Bangkok period. We notice how a well distributed design in relation to masses and details correspond to the ideal of the Thai art.
