Description

A rare color engraving made in 1783 by Jean-François Janinet after a composition by François Boucher.
An undisputed master of wash engraving, Janinet here manages to capture with remarkable delicacy all the sensuality and light of the favorite painter of 18th-century France.
Venus appears in the intimacy of her toilette, surrounded by doves and putti. The goddess's dreamy gaze, the softness of her flesh, the shimmering fabrics, and the subtlety of her complexions testify to the extreme refinement achieved by the arts during the reign of Louis XVI.
Printed by Blin, this print displays remarkable freshness of color and retains all the poetry that has made this composition famous.
Presented in an elegant giltwood frame, it is both a precious testament to the art of 18th-century French engraving and a decorative element of rare elegance.
A work where the paper seems to transform into painting.
In excellent overall condition. Fresh and luminous colors.
Antique giltwood frame.

In a library, living room, or bedroom, this Venus brings the quiet grace of the 18th century and the timeless elegance of grand French homes.
