About the work
Pierre Lélu was a painter and prolific amateur etcher active in late-18th-century Paris. Several of his prints survive in multiple states, each with dramatically different effects of line and color. He imagined this bucolic animal subject in the mode of the Baroque Dutch painter Paulus Potter. It began as a pure etching, to which the artist added aquatint shading and burnished highlights in later states.
