Restrike engraving titled Rousfelets, Peches, Prunes et Raisins by the noted 18th and 19th Century French botanical artist Jean Louis Prévost. Jean Louis Prévost was the predominant member of a family of French painters who specialized in the depiction of flowers and fruit. He was born in the village of Nointel, near Beaumont-sur-Oise, and received his training in Paris, in the studio of Jean Jacques Bachelier. His exquisite paintings were highly sought after in the second half of the eighteenth century. Examples of his work were found in the great collections of the day, including those of the Prince de Conti, the Marquis de Livois, the Marquise de Langeac, and the financiers Nicolas Beaujon, Augustin Blondel de Gagny and Alexis Janvier La Live de la Briche. The Cabinet des Estampes at the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris preserves a set of more than forty gouaches by Prévost le jeune depicting the various ornamental uses of flowers.
Printed in 1940 by the American Engraving Company.
