LAURENT JOSEPH JULIEN & JEAN BAPTISTE MORET (ACTIVE CIRCA 1790-1820) AFTER AUGUSTIN DE SAINT-AUBIN (1736-1807)
La Savonneuse
stipple etching, circa 1793, on Chine collé on laid paper, probably a unique working proof for this very rare print, an impression of the black plate only and before letters, trimmed inside the platemark but well outside the borderline, window-mounted, some pale scattered foxing, otherwise in good condition
Sheet 251 x 182 mm.

Note du spécialiste

La Savonneuse forms a pair with La Jardiniere by Moret, which depicts an equally loosely dressed young woman leaning out of a window to water her potted plants, also after a design by Augustin de Saint-Aubin. The Art Institute of Chicago has an impression of each subject, but both prints appear to be extremely rare.
