Very good condition, no foxing or stains, note on the vertical periphery tiny losses to the paper, hidden by the mounting (see unframed photos) Rare and large gouache signed by JB Huet, illustrating a fashionable theme around 1780-1785, depicting an aristocratic woman, giving fresh milk to her children on a farm on her property (castle visible in the background) - Just like Queen Marie-Antoinette at Trianon or the Rambouillet Dairy. The dress of this lady is reminiscent of the outfits of the Queen in these situations... and allows us to date this gouache around the years 1780-1785.
