About the Item

Original stipple engraving with colors titled “Les Revers de la Fortune” (Reversal of Fortune) by the well known French engraver, Louis Marin Bonnet. Circa 1885. Condition is good to very good. The artwork is under UV plexiglass. Recently professionally matted with a thin gold leaf contemporary frame in the French style. Overall framed measurements are 18.5 by 14.25. Frame and matting in fine condition. Provenance: A Sarasota collector. Louis-Marin Bonnet 1736-1793 The painter and engraver Louis-Marin Bonnet was a student of Jean-Charles François and one of the best known engravers of the 18th century Paris. He is well recorded for his polychrome prints in chalk and pastel manner, reproducing works by famous masters such as Boucher, Huet or Lagrenée. Bonnet invented the technique of printing with white plates on blue paper, which seemed to be executed in chalks, so that the prints could barely be distinguished from the originals. Bonnet’s technique is described in the book ‘Le Pastel en gravure’ (1769).
