[Youthful amusement]Amusement de la jeunesse. A Monsieur Michel Amateur honoraire de l'Academie des Arts de Marseille. Par son tres humble et tres obeissant serviteur Buldet.
Peint par F. Eisen le Pere Gravé par Nicolas Dupuis 1762.
A Paris chez Buldet rue de Gevres
Engraving, platemark 390 x 265mm (15¼ x 10½"). Trimmed to platemark; glued to album sheet at corners.
Scene in trompe l'oeil border with a boy and girl tweaking the ear of a dressed-up cat so that it appears to sing to the music being held up in front of it. Engraved after François Eisen (c.1695-1778), painter who specialised in such genre pictures in a light-hearted Flemish manner. Eisen's son Charles was also a notable artist, hence the need to identify Eisen as 'Pere' [father] on this print.
[Ref: 44953] £520.00
