Here is a charming colored etching by the engraver and print publisher Louis-marin Bonnet (1736-1793) from a work by Jean-Baptiste Huet (1745-1811) famous French painter specialist in pastoral scenes.
It represents two children,Les Petits Gourmands, milking a poor goat ,who doesn’t seem to appreciate it very much , in order to drink her milk.
The paper presents some visible discoloration ,top left and in the margin, and the colors have faded slightly.
The etching is surrounded by a small gilded stuccoed golden frame from the same period, the top having become veiled over time,
The gilded is a little worn in places and there is a small hole at the top due to a nail being driven in too far.
It has its original old blown glass .
These little defects are quite normal for the age and give even more charm to the object !
Some small white traces are due to the light on the glass.

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

This engraving is one of a series of four, each sold individually.
