Marguerite Gerard Les Regrets Merites Antique Rococo Engraving 22x20 Framed

Step back into the elegance and sentiment of 18th-century Paris with "Les Regrets Merites" (The Deserved Regrets), a superb Rococo antique engraving on laid paper. This significant print masterfully captures a poignant scene originally conceived by the celebrated French painter Marguerite Gérard (1761–1837) and exquisitely rendered by the renowned engraver Nicolas de Launay (1739–1792). Published from de Launay's own workshop at Rue De Porte St. Jacques No. 112 in Paris, this framed piece stands as a testament to the artistry of the Enlightenment era. The engraving Framed size: 22.5”x 20” The print itself appears well-preserved in its central image area. However, there is visible staining or foxing on the matting, particularly along the bottom edge, which may also affect the very margin of the print itself. This indicates the original matting was likely not acid-free. It is thoughtfully matted and housed within an ornate gold frame, typical of its era. The frame, consistent with its very old age, shows several scuffs and marks, which are considered age-appropriate patina and add to its antique character. Local pick-up in Dana Point, CA.
