Description
Etching with engraving, circa 1740.
Engraved by Pierre Alexandre Aveline (Paris 1702–1760) after François Boucher (Paris 1703–1770), published by Gabriel Huquier. From a set of six works, published under the title of Quatrième livre de groupes d'enfants.
Pierre-Alexandre Aveline (Paris, 1702 – Paris, 1760) was an engraver, member of a French family of engravers. Pierre-Alexandre was a pupil of Jean-Baptiste de Poilly, who influenced his taste and engraving technique. His oeuvre consists of one hundred and twenty-three prints, most published by Gabriel Huquier. In 1737 he became a member of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture, but was dismissed in 1742, having unfinished the portraits of Louis Galloche and Jean-François de Troy, which had been called his "morceaux de réception." He engraved many compositions after François Boucher and reproduced some of the paintings of Charles-Joseph Natoire, as well as drawings by Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione, Andrea Schiavone, Francesco Albani, Peter Paul Rubens, and Claude Lorrain. He is best known for his reproductions of works by Antoine Watteau.
A fine impression, on contemporary laid paper, with margins, very good condition.
