Légende

Bust of a young woman looking down, with a rose by her low-cut dress. Composition in a gold frame printed from a plate. Louis Marin Bonnet (Bonnet, Louis Marin) (1736–1793) after François Boucher (1703–1770). Graphic print, 1767, Paris. This was Bonnet's first composition executed in the 'crayon method in three pencils' (imitating black, red/sanguine, and white crayons); he added a second red plate and a third white plate to his black plate. Bonnet reproduced the composition in several color variations, including a pastel-effect version using two successive plates saturated with blue and green. Techniques such as roulette marks imitated crayon texture; a narrow gold frame is printed to simulate a collector's frame. Plate number '9' at the top is the plate's number in Bonnet's catalog. Due to multi-color printing difficulties, the artist also printed a reduced two-plate (two-color) version. Graphic print, height 31.5 cm, width 23.0 cm.
