Etching Engraving Old Print After François Boucher 18th C

the Dreaming Lady
etching after François Boucher
A Paris, chez Beauvarlet Graveur du Roy rue St Jacques vis a vis celle des Mathurins.
S. Fecit
The caption in the bottom is a warning : a crafty God, hidden under the flowers at her feet, is about to seduce her. Typical of ambiguous and erotic subject François Boucher used to draw.
Nice proof, well contrasted. Good condition. The work has been restored by a licensed professional conservator.
