A striking and exceptionally large 19th century engraving titled The Declaration of Love, after the celebrated Rococo painter Jean‑François de Troy. This finely detailed composition captures an intimate aristocratic courtship scene set within a lush garden, rendered with remarkable delicacy and tonal depth.
Engraved by Oldermann and published by George Stinson & Co. (Portland, Maine), this piece dates to circa 1890 and reflects the period’s fascination with 18th century French romantic genre scenes. The engraving beautifully translates de Troy’s original painting into a richly textured monochromatic work, with exquisite attention to fabric, gesture, and architectural setting.
The scale alone makes this piece especially compelling. It reads as a true statement work, ideal for anchoring a traditional interior, library, or salon-style wall.
