Jean-Baptiste Huet (1745-1811) is one of the great representatives of pastoral painting very fashionable under Louis XV and at the beginning of the reign of Louis XVI. Appreciated by critics and amateurs alike, Huet is particularly skilful and realistic in the representations of pets, which he often sketches on the spot in rapidly and skillfully brushed landscapes. This beautiful leaf testifies to his picturesque art and his remarkable sense of observation.
Goats, red chalk drawing on beige paper, probably drawn from life.
Beautiful neat modern frame.
