About this Item
A suite of four original hand coloured engravings, titled in Spanish and French La Manna Le Matin; El Mediodia Le Midi; Eldespues de Comer L'Apres Diner, and Le Soir La Tarde, each approx. 50 x 68 cm, modern gilt frames. An exquisite suite of four eighteenth century conversation piece engravings in the rococo style, showing the nobility at leisure, dining and dancing outdoors in a bucolic setting.

These prints capture the privilege and lifestyle of the aristocracy and are typical of French decorative art in the early to mid eighteenth century. Seller Inventory # 112186
