Description

A meticulously detailed engraved portrait of a young woman. The portrait is rich with symbols of purity and fertility, such as the string of pearls, her long flowing hair, and the bouquet of flowers. Her hand rests upon a cushion, displayed prominently to the viewer, perhaps to show the absence of a wedding ring and thus her eligibility for marriage. Additionally, a poem inscribed in French beneath the image praises her beauty. Signed "par Leblond avec privilege." On paper.

Condition

Signs of wear consistent with age, including discolouration and foxing to the paper.

33.5 x 23cm (13.2" x 9.1")
