The artist, known for his precise draughtsmanship and ability to document the social strata of his time, presents a woman engaged in the task of gathering discarded items with a small hook. Her posture is bent, reflecting the physical toll of her labour, while her attire is depicted with worn textures that suggest a life of hardship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is sparse, placing the figure against a wide, open background. This choice directs the viewer's attention to the interaction between the woman and the dogs surrounding her. The animals are rendered with quick, confident lines, adding a sense of movement to the scene. In the distance, smaller figures provide a sense of scale and context to the environment, suggesting a public space or a roadside setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuplessis-Bertaux employs a refined etching technique, using varying line weights to define form and shadow without relying on heavy cross-hatching. The result is a clear, readable image that prioritises the narrative of the subject over decorative flourishes. The work belongs to a tradition of genre prints that sought to record the realities of the working classes, often with a focus on the specific tools and habits associated with their trades. This print is a characteristic example of the artist's output, demonstrating his technical skill in capturing human gesture and the quiet details of everyday existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/neo-classical-vases-in-a-landscape-jean-charles-delafosse\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eNeo-classical Vases in a Landscape - Jean Charles Delafosse — Jean Charles Delafosse\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/pax-artium-nutrix-francesco-bartolozzi\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePax Artium Nutrix - Francesco Bartolozzi — Francesco Bartolozzi\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jean Duplessis-Bertaux","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58793981673807,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58793989505359,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58793989538127,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58793989570895,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58793989603663,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58793989636431,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58793989669199,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58793989701967,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58793989734735,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58793989767503,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58793989800271,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58793989833039,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Ling-re-au-petit-crochet_Poster_CompositorV1_1789525310464.jpg?v=1789526063"},{"product_id":"mde-de-fleurs-jean-duplessis-bertaux","title":"Mde de Fleurs - Jean Duplessis-Bertaux","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn etching by Jean Duplessis-Bertaux depicting flower sellers with their donkeys, captured with the precise line work of the late eighteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis etching by Jean Duplessis-Bertaux captures a scene of daily life in late eighteenth-century France. The work, titled Mde de Fleurs, depicts two women engaged in the trade of flowers. One figure is mounted upon a donkey, while the second walks alongside, guiding a second animal laden with baskets of potted plants. The composition is defined by the clean, precise line work characteristic of the period, focusing on the figures and their immediate surroundings rather than an expansive background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuplessis-Bertaux was a prolific etcher and draughtsman, known for his ability to document military campaigns and social scenes with equal clarity. His technical approach relies on fine, controlled strokes to define the texture of the clothing, the forms of the animals, and the botanical details within the baskets. The scene is framed by a simple border, a common convention in print series of the era, which directs the viewer's attention to the narrative interaction between the two women. The inclusion of small, distant figures in the background provides a sense of scale and suggests a wider urban or peri-urban environment without distracting from the primary subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a genre piece, this print offers a glimpse into the itinerant commerce of the time. The artist avoids excessive ornamentation, preferring a direct, observational style that records the costume and customs of the working class. The balance between the static, seated figure and the dynamic, walking figure creates a rhythmic quality across the frame.

Jean Duplessis-Bertaux, a skilled draughtsman and engraver, captures the precise sartorial details that defined administrative roles in late 18th-century France. The figure wears a dark coat, breeches, and a tricolour sash, which serves as the primary indicator of his civic authority. The inclusion of a hat adorned with tricolour feathers further reinforces the political context of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work is executed with fine, controlled lines characteristic of the period's printmaking techniques. The hand-applied colour is restrained, focusing attention on the symbolic tricolour elements of the sash and headwear. The composition is simple, placing the subject against a neutral background to ensure the focus remains on the costume itself. Such prints were often produced as part of larger series documenting the changing social and political hierarchies of the French Revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuplessis-Bertaux was known for his ability to document historical events and figures with clarity.

The composition is divided into distinct zones, organised around a central heraldic shield that acts as an anchor for the visual narrative. To the left, an artist is shown at a desk, focused on the act of drawing, while in the background, figures operate a printing press. The right side of the scene depicts the bookbinding or finishing process, with shelves of volumes and workers engaged in manual tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuplessis-Bertaux, known for his technical precision, employs a clean, linear style typical of the period. The work functions as an allegory of the graphic arts, celebrating the mechanical and intellectual labour required to produce printed material. The inclusion of classical motifs, such as the cornucopia and the caduceus beneath the central crest, aligns with the Neoclassical aesthetic prevalent in France during this era.
