Beautiful Set Of Frame And Aquatint Engraving Of A Young Shepherdess And Her Flock Of Sheep Resting

Lovely Shepherdess posing in a clearing accompanied by her flock of sheep from the 18th century in aquatint, in a lovely frame with Charles X palmettes, this pretty Work alone personifies all the charm of the 18th Century and the Reign of Marie-Antoinette, because this Lady by her clothes is rather a Woman of the Court, and her beautiful well-behaved sheep the idealized romanticism of the country life. The superb two-color aquatint technique, red chalk and black stone, in two press passes on a beautiful framed impression vat paper after the Work of Jean-Baptiste Huet engraved by the famous 18th century engraver Demarteau, published in Paris by Demarteau Graveur et Pensionnaire du Roi, rue de la Pelterie à la Cloche, bears the No. 524. A curiosity at the back, a figure of a merchant's building in a street in Paris at the beginning of the 19th century, closes everything for this charming painting, all the poetry of this end of the century of Louis XVI and the Petit Trianon... In good condition, a beautiful piece of refined and charming decoration....
