Here is a charming colored etching by the engraver and print publisher Louis-Marin Bonnet (1736-1793) after a work by Jean-Baptiste Huet (1745-1811) famous French painter specialist of pastoral scenes.
It represents two children and a dog in a garden . The little boy, Le Petit Cavalier, is riding the poor dog, using him like a horse under the watchful of the little girl.
Pastel tones bring a lot of softness to the whole.
The engraving is in good general condition , just note some spots or discoloration in the lower margin and a little black stain between the two children.
It is surrounded by a small frame from the same period ,in stuccoed gilded wood, with its original old blown glass.
The gilding is a little worn in places and there is a small hole at the top of the frame due to a nail being driven in too far .
These little defects are quite normal for the age and give even more charm to the object.
Some small white spots are due to the light on the glass.

Dimension : 7,7’’ x 8,9’’ framed (19,5m x 22,5cm)
6,3’’ x 7,5’’ in sight (16cm x 19cm)

This engraving is one of a series of four, please see the last picture, each sold individually.
