Paperoll is a decorative technique using narrow strips or fabrics of paper, rolled up on itself and fixed on a support or in a frame, creating a three-dimensional subject.
Very fashionable during the Renaissance, especially in the female religious congregations such as the Carmelites, the Ursulines... who wished to reproduce the effect of the gold and silver filigree of the goldsmiths.
The genre was democratised in the 18th century, and was produced in abundance between 1720 and 1850. The technique flourished in Bavaria, northern Spain and southern France.
