Presented in its original frame, a large Oregon pine stick with double ebony fillets and period reinforced rear corners with its cardboard backing and mounting strips, never opened, this beautiful print from the second part of the 18th century century (around 1770) where we find the grace of Louis XV. (Jean Charles le Vasseur, born in Abbeville on October 21, 1734 and died in Paris on November 29, 1816), famous engraver and publisher of Estampes, the beautiful engraving where we find German ribaldness after a painting by G. M. Klaus (signature on the left), the wine flows freely in a fringe of grivellerie. “La Gayeté sans Embarras” dedicated and bearing the coat of arms of Monsieur de Fréville, Royal Treasurer at the Hotel des Invalides. A handsome Man pours wine to a young Woman in a bonnet in conversation with a Man with a glass in his hand and both seated on a bench, another in a hat begins a Woman returning from the Market knocking over her baskets of vegetables on the ground, in 'embracing by the waist; all this in front of a small round cabaret pedestal table where an empty glass is placed. A very beautiful piece and a very decorative print of a joyful, intimate scene very much in the style of the Age of Enlightenment
piece in perfect rare condition in a beautiful period unit
