Basket with Flowers
Jean Baptiste Monnoyer (1636-1699), published by: Nicolas de Poilly (1626-1696), etching, coloured in with watercolour and gouache, c. 1680-1690
Monnoyer mostly, but not always, published his etchings in albums. This splendid coloured print was meant to hang on the wall in a frame and served as an inexpensive alternative to an oil painting. Because paper is fragile, many such prints have been lost. An impression like this one, therefore, is very rare nowadays.
