Description

I came across this at an estate sale and it was too beautiful not to take home. Is anyone familiar with this at all? I was only able to find an eBay listing but that one was in black and white and didn’t offer up much information. It’s in perfect condition, framed.

I don’t know how to tell if it’s an original etching (not an expert) or a copy but the artist did etchings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Firmin_Beauvarlet Here’s one that’s been hand colored https://www.catawiki.com/l/14116267-j-beauvarlet-1731-1797-lecture-espagnole-1754 And one that’s not colored http://www.pierotrincia.it/en/3157/Lecture-Espagnole---Jacques-Firmin-Beauvarlet.html I think someone needs to see it up close and see if it’s an original etching and then if it needs a new acid free mat and or glass to protect it. I did find this different print by the same artist on eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Rare-Museum-Artwork-La-Chasse-by-Jacques-Firmin-Beauvarlet-18th-Century/174566492007?hash=item28a4f94767:g:AEwAAOSwiEFf36Ai And this https://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Hand-Colored-Engraving-La-Chasse-by-Jacques-Firmin-Beauvarlet-Listed/153376249723?hash=item23b5efd77b:g:YL0AAOSwepdcY5en And this is probably the uncolored one you found https://www.ebay.com/itm/Jacques-Firmin-BEAUVARLET-Gravure-Eau-Forte-Originale-CARLE-VAN-LOO-1754/264595760666?hash=item3d9b22e61a:g:QkIAAOSwO2hbzznZ
