The work is dated 1797 within the plate and features finely rendered linework, tonal shading, and a visible plate mark.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis work was acquired from a Newport Beach, California estate that contained a thoughtfully assembled collection of antique European paintings, drawings, and decorative arts. Many of the works had been professionally framed over time, including several in France, reflecting the care with which the collection was assembled and preserved.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSeveral works from the collection were reviewed by Bonhams, who described them as historically interesting and noted that works of this nature are handled by their Old Master Drawings department. Bonhams ultimately declined consignment, explaining that the anticipated individual values did not justify the cost of shipping the works to their specialists, and recommended pursuing evaluation through a regional auction house. No formal authentication or attribution accompanies this work.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n* Artist: Jean-Jacques de Boissieu\u003cbr\u003e\n* Title: Jenny With Its Foal\u003cbr\u003e\n* Date: 1797 (dated in plate)\u003cbr\u003e\n* Origin: France\u003cbr\u003e\n* Medium: Copperplate engraving on paper\u003cbr\u003e\n* Presentation: Later giltwood frame with linen mat\u003cbr\u003e\n* Ready to hang\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition\u003cbr\u003e\nGood antique condition consistent with age.
