{"product_id":"the-little-horse-fair-jean-moyreau","title":"The Little Horse Fair - Jean Moyreau","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed 1738 engraving by Jean Moyreau, depicting a rural horse fair based on a painting by Philips Wouwerman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving, titled La Petite Foire aux Chevaux, is a reproduction of an original painting by the Dutch Golden Age master Philips Wouwerman. Jean Moyreau, a French engraver, produced this work in 1738, dedicating it to Victor Amadeus, Prince of Carignan. The print captures a busy scene of commerce and daily life, centred on the trading of horses in a rural setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the foreground, several horses are depicted in various states of rest and movement, attended by figures in period attire. A large, makeshift canopy provides shade for the traders, while the background features a rustic building with a ladder leaning against its side, suggesting a farm or stable environment. The composition employs a wide, open sky that balances the activity below, typical of the Dutch influence on Moyreau's work. The technical execution demonstrates the precision of eighteenth-century printmaking, with fine lines used to define the musculature of the animals and the textures of the clothing and landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inclusion of the coat of arms and the formal dedication at the base of the print reflects the social conventions of the period, where such works were often commissioned or presented to nobility to demonstrate status and artistic patronage. The scene is quiet yet industrious, focusing on the interaction between humans and animals. The print provides a window into the aesthetic preferences of the eighteenth-century French court, which held a particular appreciation for the pastoral and genre subjects popularised by Dutch painters like Wouwerman. This museum-grade reproduction maintains the tonal qualities of the original etching, preserving the clarity of the figures and the atmospheric depth of the rural setting.\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=\"\/products\/apotheosis-of-hercules-giovanni-domenico-tiepolo\" 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;\"\u003eApotheosis of Hercules - Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo — Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-jacob-pleydell-bouverie-james-mcardell\" 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;\"\u003ePortrait of Jacob Pleydell-Bouverie - James McArdell — James MacArdell\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jean Moyreau","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58485981839695,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58485983871311,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58485983904079,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58485983936847,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58485983969615,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58485984002383,"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":58485984035151,"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":58485984067919,"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":58485984100687,"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":58485984133455,"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":58485984166223,"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":58485984198991,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Little-Horse-Fair_Poster_CompositorV1_1786371485831.jpg?v=1786848172","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/the-little-horse-fair-jean-moyreau","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
