Le Bas was known for his skill in reproducing paintings and drawings, and this work exemplifies his meticulous technique. The scene depicts a young woman seated within a stone archway, possibly a window or doorway. She is surrounded by objects associated with fishing and the sea, including a basket overflowing with fish, flowers, and various tools. In the background, a group of figures can be seen near the water, suggesting a coastal setting. The composition is carefully arranged, with a balance between the detailed foreground and the more softly rendered background. The use of light and shadow adds depth to the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure. The archway frames the subject, creating a sense of intimacy and enclosure. The overall tone is one of quiet domesticity, capturing a moment in the daily life of a woman engaged in her trade. The print showcases Le Bas's ability to translate the textures and details of the original artwork into the medium of engraving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck by Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/apotheosis-of-hercules-giovanni-domenico-tiepolo\"\u003eApotheosis of Hercules - Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore more from our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jacques-philippe-le-bas\"\u003eJacques-Philippe Le Bas\u003c\/a\u003e collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jacques-Philippe Le Bas","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57450805690703,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57455318532431,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57455318565199,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57455318597967,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57455318630735,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57455318663503,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57455318696271,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57455318729039,"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":57455318761807,"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":57455318794575,"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":57455318827343,"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":57455318860111,"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":57455318892879,"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":57455318925647,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57455318958415,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57455318991183,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57455319023951,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57455319056719,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57455319089487,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57455319122255,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/file_b8d405cc-de17-4b8e-be17-9e0ba7f15838.jpg?v=1776020250"},{"product_id":"le-bon-pere-jacques-philippe-le-bas","title":"Le Bon Père - Jacques-Philippe Le Bas","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed 18th-century etching by Jacques-Philippe Le Bas depicting a rustic tavern scene after David Teniers the Younger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis etching, titled Le Bon Père, is a reproduction by the French printmaker Jacques-Philippe Le Bas after a painting by David Teniers the Younger. The scene depicts a domestic interior, specifically a tavern or rustic dwelling, where a group of figures gathers around a table. A man reads aloud from a document, capturing the attention of his companions, while others share a drink and conversation. The composition reflects the Dutch and Flemish tradition of genre painting, which focused on the everyday lives of ordinary people.\n\nLe Bas demonstrates technical precision in his use of line and cross-hatching to define the textures of the wooden furniture, the fabric of the clothing, and the play of light entering from the small window. The inclusion of a cat near a barrel and a bird cage on the wall adds to the narrative quality of the piece, suggesting a lived-in, humble environment. The text at the bottom of the print provides a moralising commentary on the scene, typical of the period, which frames the gathering as a moment of familial harmony and simple joy.\n\nAs a prominent engraver of the eighteenth century, Le Bas was instrumental in disseminating the works of earlier masters to a wider audience. His ability to translate the painterly qualities of Teniers into the medium of print allowed collectors to appreciate these scenes of rural life in their own homes. This print offers a window into the aesthetic preferences of the era, where the charm of rustic subjects was highly valued by urban audiences. The balanced composition and clear narrative focus make this an excellent example of the reproductive printmaking tradition that flourished in France during the mid-eighteenth century.\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\/piazza-san-marco-venice-seen-from-the-southwest-canaletto\" 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;\"\u003ePiazza San Marco, Venice, Seen from the Southwest - Canaletto — Canaletto\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jacques-Philippe Le Bas","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57976125587791,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57976125849935,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57976125882703,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57976125915471,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57976125948239,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Le-Bon-P-re_Poster_CompositorV1_1781837766388.jpg?v=1781837896"},{"product_id":"le-bon-pere-jacques-philippe-le-bas-1","title":"Le Bon Père - Jacques-Philippe Le Bas","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed eighteenth-century etching by Jacques-Philippe Le Bas depicting a convivial tavern scene with figures gathered around a table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eJacques-Philippe Le Bas was a prolific French engraver, known for his technical precision and his ability to translate the painterly qualities of Dutch and Flemish masters into the medium of print. This work, titled Le Bon Père, captures a domestic scene within a tavern setting. The composition centres on a group of figures gathered around a wooden table, where a man reads a document aloud to his companions. The atmosphere is one of conviviality, with expressions of engagement and amusement visible on the faces of the participants. A woman stands behind the reader, while another figure holds a glass, suggesting a moment of shared leisure. \n\nThe print demonstrates the characteristic refinement of eighteenth-century French engraving. Le Bas employs a variety of line weights to define the textures of the wooden furniture, the folds of the clothing, and the subtle play of light entering from the window. A small cat occupies the foreground, adding a touch of naturalism to the interior. The inclusion of a small window opening at the top right, through which another figure peers, introduces a sense of depth and narrative curiosity. \n\nLe Bas often collaborated with contemporary painters to reproduce their works, and this piece reflects the influence of the Dutch genre tradition, which favoured depictions of everyday life. The text at the bottom of the plate provides a moralising or descriptive caption, a common feature in prints of this period intended for a wider audience. The work is executed with a balanced tonal range, relying on cross-hatching to create shadow and volume without overwhelming the clarity of the figures. It remains an example of the high level of craftsmanship achieved by Le Bas during his career in Paris, where he operated a successful workshop.\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\/cottage-children-the-wood-gatherers-thomas-gainsborough\" 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;\"\u003eCottage Children (The Wood Gatherers) - Thomas Gainsborough — Thomas Gainsborough\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jacques-Philippe Le Bas","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58027267096911,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58027270734159,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58027270766927,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58027270799695,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58027270832463,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Le-Bon-P-re_Poster_CompositorV1_1782181206931.jpg?v=1782181356"},{"product_id":"le-vieillard-content-jacques-philippe-le-bas","title":"Le Vieillard Content - Jacques-Philippe Le Bas","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed eighteenth-century etching by Jacques-Philippe Le Bas, depicting a genre scene of an elderly man in a tavern, after David Teniers the Younger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis etching, titled Le Vieillard Content, demonstrates the technical precision of Jacques-Philippe Le Bas, a prolific French engraver of the eighteenth century. The composition is based on a painting by David Teniers the Younger, reflecting the period's interest in Dutch and Flemish genre painting. The scene depicts an elderly man seated in a rustic tavern, holding a jug, while a younger companion pours a drink. A small dog sits near the man's feet, adding a sense of domestic informality to the setting.\n\nLe Bas employs a variety of hatching techniques to define the textures of the clothing, the wooden furniture, and the dim interior space. The light source, coming from the left, creates a clear distinction between the figures and the shadowed background. The inclusion of a verse beneath the image provides a moralising commentary on the simple pleasures of life, a common trope in genre works of this era. The print captures the quiet, everyday atmosphere typical of Teniers's influence, translated into the refined medium of French engraving.\n\nAs a master of the burin, Le Bas was instrumental in disseminating works from private collections to a wider public. This particular print was published in Paris, at his address on the Rue de la Harpe. The work remains a clear example of the eighteenth-century appetite for scenes of peasant life, rendered with a balance of observational detail and stylistic polish. The composition avoids excessive drama, focusing instead on the characterisation of the figures and the tactile quality of the tavern environment. It is a representative piece of the era's print culture, where the reproduction of earlier masters allowed for the circulation of artistic styles across European borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv

bij de marketenster - Jacques-Philippe Le Bas","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed 18th-century engraving depicting a cavalry unit resting at a sutler's tent, based on a composition by Philips Wouwerman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print, titled Cavalerie bij de marketenster, is an etching and engraving produced under the direction of the French master Jacques-Philippe Le Bas. The composition is based on an original painting by Philips Wouwerman, a Dutch Golden Age artist known for his depictions of horses and military life. The scene captures a moment of respite for a cavalry unit at a sutler's tent, a common subject in seventeenth-century Dutch genre painting that Le Bas helped popularise among eighteenth-century French collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe visual narrative focuses on the interaction between soldiers and the camp follower, or sutler, who provides provisions. Several figures are mounted on horseback, while others rest on the ground, creating a sense of informal activity. The tents and flags establish the military context, yet the mood remains domestic and relaxed. Le Bas employs a sophisticated range of line weights and cross-hatching techniques to render the textures of the horses, the fabric of the tents, and the atmospheric quality of the sky. The inclusion of the coat of arms and the inscription at the bottom indicates that this print was part of a larger collection, likely the Cabinet de Monsieur Le Brun, which was a common practice for disseminating high-status art to a wider audience during the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically, the work demonstrates the precision of the French school of engraving. The balance between the foreground figures and the open space of the camp allows for a clear reading of the narrative. The attention to detail, from the posture of the horses to the small items scattered on the ground, reflects the meticulous approach of the engraver. This print offers a window into the eighteenth-century appreciation for Dutch genre scenes, translated through the refined aesthetic sensibilities of the French Rococo era.\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\/the-virgin-appearing-to-saint-philip-neri-giovanni-battista-piazzetta\" 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;\"\u003eThe Virgin Appearing to Saint Philip Neri - Giovanni Battista Piazzetta — Giovanni Battista Piazzetta\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jacques-Philippe Le Bas","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58350399783247,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58350475182415,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58350475215183,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58350475247951,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58350475280719,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58350475313487,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58350475346255,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58350475379023,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58350475411791,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58350475444559,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58350475477327,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58350475510095,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Cavalerie-bij-de-marketenster_Poster_CompositorV1_1785423360621.jpg?v=1785425169"},{"product_id":"hoofd-van-een-oudere-man-met-baard-jacques-philippe-le-bas","title":"Hoofd van een oudere man met baard - Jacques-Philippe Le Bas","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed etching by Jacques-Philippe Le Bas depicting the profile of an elderly man with a beard, rendered with precise cross-hatching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis etching by Jacques-Philippe Le Bas captures the profile of an elderly man, his features rendered with a focus on texture and form. The artist employs a series of short, directional lines to define the subject, particularly within the thick, unruly hair and the flowing beard. The shading is achieved through cross-hatching, which creates depth and volume across the cheek and neck. The background is composed of horizontal lines, a technique that pushes the figure forward and provides a neutral setting for the portrait.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLe Bas, a prolific French engraver, was known for his technical precision and his ability to translate the nuances of painting into the medium of print. This work demonstrates his command of the etching needle, where the variation in line weight suggests the softness of the beard and the weathered quality of the skin. The subject is depicted in a contemplative state, with his gaze directed slightly downward. The composition is tight, focusing entirely on the head and shoulders, which allows the viewer to observe the anatomical details and the character of the sitter without distraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a fine art print, this piece offers a glimpse into the graphic traditions of the eighteenth century.

Le Bas, a prolific engraver and etcher, was well-regarded for his ability to translate the nuances of light and texture onto the copper plate. In this work, the artist employs a series of fine, rhythmic lines to define the contours of the subject's face and the texture of his hair. The profile view allows for a clear examination of the subject's features, where the artist uses cross-hatching to build shadow and volume, particularly around the brow and the jawline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is focused entirely on the head and neck, stripping away any background detail to ensure the viewer concentrates on the character of the sitter. The lines are controlled and deliberate, demonstrating the artist's command over the etching needle. The balding head is rendered with subtle variations in line weight, suggesting the thinning hair and the shape of the skull beneath. The expression is contemplative, perhaps even weary, providing a human quality that transcends the purely technical exercise of the portrait study.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLe Bas was instrumental in the dissemination of art through his prints, often reproducing works by other masters, yet his original studies reveal a keen eye for observation.

The paper shows the natural ageing expected of a work from this era, with the ink lines retaining their clarity. It is a piece that invites close inspection, revealing the methodical approach taken by the artist to achieve a sense of realism through simple, linear means.

Le Bas employs a variety of hatching techniques to define the textures of the thatched roofs, the foliage of the trees, and the clothing of the villagers. The scene is organised with a clear foreground, where food preparation and service take place, and a middle ground where the primary festivities occur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLe Bas was instrumental in the dissemination of Dutch and Flemish genre painting styles throughout France, and this print echoes the traditions established by artists such as Teniers. The attention to detail, from the barrels in the foreground to the musicians performing on a raised platform, provides a window into the social customs of the period. The print demonstrates the engraver's skill in managing a complex, multi-figure composition while maintaining a balanced distribution of light and shadow across the scene. As a museum-grade reproduction, this print preserves the fine lines and tonal variations of the original copperplate, offering an authentic representation of the eighteenth-century printmaking craft.\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\/protection-from-the-cold-johann-eleazar-schenau\" 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;\"\u003eProtection from the Cold - Johann Eleazar Schenau — Johann Eleazar Schenau\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jacques-Philippe Le Bas","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58350671397199,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58350701871439,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58350701904207,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58350701936975,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58350701969743,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58350702002511,"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":58350702035279,"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":58350702068047,"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":58350702100815,"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":58350702133583,"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":58350702166351,"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":58350702199119,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Dorpsfeest-Village-Festival-_Poster_CompositorV1_1785425147765.jpg?v=1785427472"},{"product_id":"buste-van-een-jongen-bust-of-a-boy-jacques-philippe-le-bas","title":"Buste van een jongen (Bust of a Boy) - Jacques-Philippe Le Bas","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed etching by Jacques-Philippe Le Bas, capturing the contemplative expression of a young boy through precise line work and tonal shading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis etching by Jacques-Philippe Le Bas captures the head and shoulders of a young boy, rendered with the technical precision characteristic of eighteenth-century French printmaking. Le Bas, a prolific engraver and etcher, was known for his ability to translate the nuances of light and texture onto the copper plate. In this work, the subject is depicted with a downward gaze, his expression contemplative and quiet. The artist employs a variety of hatching techniques to define the contours of the face and the soft, tousled hair. The background is composed of dense, horizontal lines that create a sense of depth and focus, drawing the viewer's attention to the boy's features. The clothing is suggested through looser, more gestural strokes, providing a contrast to the tighter execution of the facial details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLe Bas was a significant figure in the Parisian art scene, often collaborating with other artists to reproduce paintings through the medium of print. His work reflects the technical standards of the period, where the mastery of line and tone was essential for successful reproduction. This particular study demonstrates his skill in capturing a fleeting moment of introspection. The use of light and shadow, or chiaroscuro, is restrained yet effective, giving the figure a three-dimensional quality despite the limited palette of the etching process. The print serves as an example of the academic approach to portraiture, where the focus remains on the character and form of the sitter. The composition is intimate, inviting a close examination of the artist's mark-making and the subtle variations in line weight that define the boy's form.

It is a fine example of the period's interest in the interplay between human activity and the natural world, presented with a lightness of touch that defines the Rococo style.\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\/protection-from-the-cold-johann-eleazar-schenau\" 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;\"\u003eProtection from the Cold - Johann Eleazar Schenau — Johann Eleazar Schenau\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jacques-Philippe Le Bas","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58351828664655,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58351865594191,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58351865626959,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58351865659727,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58351865692495,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58351865725263,"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":58351865758031,"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":58351865790799,"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":58351865823567,"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":58351865856335,"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":58351865889103,"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":58351865921871,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Landschap-met-rustende-personen_Poster_CompositorV1_1785435000831.jpg?v=1785436657"},{"product_id":"elegant-gezelschap-in-een-tuin-fete-galante-jacques-philippe-le-bas-1","title":"Elegant gezelschap in een tuin (Fête Galante) - Jacques-Philippe Le Bas","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined etching by Jacques-Philippe Le Bas depicting a Fête Galante scene, where figures gather for music and conversation in a park setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis etching and engraving by Jacques-Philippe Le Bas captures the essence of the Fête Galante, a genre popularised in the eighteenth century. The scene depicts a group of figures gathered in a park, engaged in leisure activities. A musician plays a stringed instrument to the left, while others converse or rest upon the grass. The composition is framed by dense, textured foliage and a classical stone structure, which provides a sense of enclosure and intimacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLe Bas was a prolific printmaker, known for his technical skill in translating the painterly qualities of Rococo art into the medium of engraving. His work often focused on the light and shadow play within these outdoor settings, using varied line weights to define the silk of the garments and the rougher textures of the trees. The figures are dressed in the fashion of the period, with an emphasis on graceful poses and social interaction. This print reflects the period interest in idealised, pastoral life, where the boundaries between nature and artifice are blurred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print demonstrates the precision of Le Bas in his use of cross-hatching and stippling to create depth. The figures are arranged in a relaxed, conversational manner, typical of the genre. The background, though less detailed than the foreground, provides a sense of distance and atmosphere. As a master of the burin, Le Bas successfully captures the soft, airy quality of the Rococo style, making this a representative example of the period's graphic output.

A lone musician stands before a modest dwelling, playing his violin for a small group of listeners gathered in the doorway. The composition focuses on the interaction between the performer and his audience, who appear engaged by the melody. Le Bas, a skilled printmaker of the eighteenth century, employs fine hatching and cross-hatching techniques to define the textures of the stone wall, the wooden door frame, and the varied garments of the figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene reflects the interest in genre subjects that permeated French art during this period. Rather than depicting grand historical or mythological narratives, the work finds interest in the everyday activities of common people.

The composition features a group of putti, the cherubic figures frequently employed in eighteenth-century art to represent innocence or mythological themes. Here, the scene depicts a domestic moment: several putti gather around a sleeping companion, carefully draping a cloth over the recumbent figure. The narrative is gentle, focusing on the quiet interaction between the small figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe entire scene is enclosed within a highly decorative cartouche, a hallmark of the Rococo style. The frame consists of fluid, asymmetrical curves and shell-like motifs, which draw the eye toward the central action. Le Bas, a master engraver, employs fine hatching and cross-hatching techniques to create volume and texture, particularly in the drapery of the cloth and the soft forms of the putti.

The work demonstrates the period's preference for ornamental elegance and the depiction of light, allegorical subjects. The contrast between the soft, rounded forms of the putti and the rigid, structured lines of the surrounding cartouche creates a balanced visual experience.

The composition focuses on groups of putti, small winged or wingless infants often used in classical and decorative art to represent playful or allegorical themes. In both scenes, the figures are positioned against a backdrop of architectural elements, suggesting a terrace or urban setting. The artist employs fine, controlled lines to define the musculature of the figures and the textures of their drapery, while the surrounding frames exhibit the fluid, asymmetrical curves typical of the mid-eighteenth-century French style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLe Bas was a prolific engraver, known for his technical precision and his ability to translate the nuances of paintings into the medium of print. These vignettes likely functioned as decorative elements for a larger publication, such as a book illustration or a collection of ornamental designs. The interaction between the putti is lighthearted, with gestures that suggest a narrative or a theatrical performance. The architectural structures in the background provide a sense of spatial depth, contrasting with the decorative, flattened nature of the ornate borders. The work demonstrates the period's fascination with classical motifs and the integration of figure studies into ornamental frameworks. By isolating these scenes, the viewer can appreciate the balance between the human form and the decorative artifice that defined the visual culture of the era.

Jacques-Philippe Le Bas, a prolific French engraver, demonstrates his technical precision through the varied cross-hatching and stippling used to define the textures of the room. The composition centres on an elderly practitioner seated in a heavy chair, holding a dental instrument with a focused expression. Behind him, a younger assistant or patient stands near a table cluttered with apothecary jars, vials, and medical tools. The setting is sparse, suggesting a modest workshop rather than a formal clinic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLe Bas was known for his ability to translate the works of Dutch and Flemish masters into the medium of print, often adopting the thematic interests of the Northern schools.

The composition features a group of herders guiding their livestock across a stone bridge, a common motif in the period that evokes an idealised rural life.

Le Bas, a prolific engraver who served as the official engraver to the French King, demonstrates his mastery of tonal variation through the application of dense cross-hatching and delicate line work. The composition features a group of herders with their livestock, including cattle, goats, and a donkey, gathered near a stream. The figures are positioned beneath a large, gnarled tree that provides a vertical anchor to the scene, while the background reveals a rugged, rocky terrain typical of the idealised rural settings favoured during the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work exhibits the influence of Dutch and Flemish masters, whose depictions of daily life and rural environments were highly regarded by French collectors of the time. Le Bas employs a sophisticated range of greys to differentiate the textures of the animals, the rough bark of the trees, and the soft light filtering through the clouds. The inclusion of a small, decorative cartouche at the bottom, featuring putti and heraldic elements, is a hallmark of the period, adding a layer of formal ornamentation to the print. This piece reflects the technical rigour of the era, where the engraver functioned as both a translator of painterly compositions and an artist in his own right.

This work, titled 'Figuren voor een herberg', captures a lively scene of rural social life. The composition is structured around a rustic inn, where a group of figures gathers to drink and socialise.

This print offers a glimpse into the social dynamics of the eighteenth-century countryside, presented with the clarity and technical refinement that defined Le Bas's career.\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\/harlequin-jaloux-pierre-quentin-chedel\" 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;\"\u003eHarlequin Jaloux - Pierre-Quentin Chedel — Pierre-Quentin Chedel\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jacques-Philippe Le Bas","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58352151101775,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58352169255247,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58352169288015,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58352169320783,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58352169353551,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58352169386319,"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":58352169419087,"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":58352169451855,"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":58352169484623,"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":58352169517391,"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":58352169550159,"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":58352169582927,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Figuren-voor-een-herberg_Poster_CompositorV1_1785439894311.jpg?v=1785440036"},{"product_id":"rencontre-de-cavalerie-lepee-a-la-main-jacques-philippe-le-bas","title":"Rencontre de cavalerie, l'épée à la main - Jacques-Philippe Le Bas","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed 18th-century etching depicting a dramatic cavalry skirmish, showcasing the technical skill of French engraver Jacques-Philippe Le Bas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis etching and engraving, titled Rencontre de cavalerie, l'épée à la main, demonstrates the technical precision of Jacques-Philippe Le Bas, a prominent French engraver of the eighteenth century. The composition depicts a chaotic skirmish between mounted soldiers, capturing the kinetic energy of combat through dynamic poses and overlapping forms. In the foreground, a fallen horse and rider create a sense of immediate danger, while the central figures engage in a duel with swords raised. The background features additional cavalry units, suggesting a broader conflict unfolding across the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLe Bas was known for his ability to translate the painterly qualities of original works into the medium of print. This piece reflects the dramatic flair common in mid-eighteenth-century French art, where the focus remains on the theatricality of the scene. The use of cross-hatching and varied line weights provides depth to the figures and the surrounding environment, effectively rendering the textures of armour, fabric, and animal musculature. The inclusion of a coat of arms at the base indicates the work was likely produced under royal or aristocratic patronage, a common practice for engravers of this period who sought to document military or historical subjects for elite collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a master of the burin, Le Bas achieved a balance between the narrative intensity of the battle and the formal requirements of printmaking. The composition is structured to guide the viewer through the various stages of the encounter, from the fallen figures at the bottom to the active combatants in the centre. This print offers a view into the aesthetic preferences of the era, where military prowess and heroic struggle were frequent subjects for artistic representation.

The scene is populated by several figures engaged in various stages of experimentation. A central, bearded figure sits near a large hearth, carefully examining a circular object, while an assistant looks on. In the background, other figures attend to furnaces and distillation equipment, suggesting a busy, industrious environment. The room is filled with the tools of the trade: glass vessels, open books, metal basins, and a dried fish suspended from the ceiling, which adds a curious, esoteric touch to the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLe Bas, a highly skilled French engraver, demonstrates his technical proficiency through the varied textures and tonal range achieved in this print. The use of cross-hatching and fine lines creates a sense of depth and shadow, particularly within the dark recesses of the fireplace and the corners of the room. The smoke rising from the furnace provides a soft, hazy contrast to the sharp, defined edges of the laboratory equipment and the figures' clothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work belongs to a long tradition of European genre painting and printmaking that explored the theme of alchemy. Rather than focusing on the mystical or magical aspects of the practice, the image presents the alchemist as a scholar or craftsman working within a physical space. The attention to detail in the depiction of the tools and the domestic nature of the setting reflects the eighteenth-century interest in scientific inquiry and the material world. The print offers a glimpse into a historical perception of early chemistry, where the boundary between rigorous study and speculative art remained fluid. It is a fine example of the narrative capacity of the etching medium, capturing a moment of quiet concentration amidst the chaotic clutter of a working laboratory.\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\/harlequin-jaloux-pierre-quentin-chedel\" 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;\"\u003eHarlequin Jaloux - Pierre-Quentin Chedel — Pierre-Quentin Chedel\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jacques-Philippe Le Bas","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58352158802255,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58352172171599,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58352172204367,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58352172237135,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58352172269903,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58352172302671,"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":58352172335439,"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":58352172368207,"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":58352172400975,"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":58352172433743,"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":58352172466511,"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":58352172499279,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Alchemist-in-his-Workshop_Poster_CompositorV1_1785439921485.jpg?v=1785440112"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/collections\/jacques-philippe-le-bas.oembed","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
