"The Four Seasons, After David Teniers, Engraved In The 18th Century By Jc Levasseur "
David Teniers II (1610-1690) left his mark on painting with frequent depictions of the peasant world, and his success endured long after his death. It is therefore not surprising that an 18th-century French engraver, Jean Charles Levasseur (1734-1816), took up this cycle of paintings, representing the four seasons, each depicted by an emblematic figure of the season: the chilly man for winter, the gardener for spring, the reaper for summer, the winegrower for autumn. The paper is sun-faded and appears to be of a later date; the print must have been made at the beginning of the 19th century, since he was still alive.
The frames are originals, golded " a la mecca" ( silver with yellow vernish ).
Little accidents around the frames , but It 's look pretty.
