Description

This beautiful early 20th-century aquatint is after an 18th-century engraving by Richard Earlom (1743-1822) of a work by the Dutch master, Jan Van Huysum (1682-1749).

In the late 18th century, Richard Earlom was commissioned as part of a printmaking project to reproduce Sir Robert Walpole’s extensive painting collection at The Houghton Gallery. The project was initiated when it became evident that the collection would need to be sold - eventually to Catherine of Russia in 1778. Earlom was particularly admired for his work involving florals and the resulting mezzotint engraving was rendered exquisitely.

This later aquatint was produced by the Berlin publishers Grauert & Zink.

Overall size: 21½” x 27½” / 55cm x 70cm

FAQs

An aquatint is a intaglio printmaking technique that produces tonal effects similar to watercolour washes, highly popular in the 18th and 19th centuries for reproducing fine art paintings.

Traditional antique prints were produced using hand-pulled printing techniques on laid or wove rag paper, utilising copper or zinc plates and plant- or mineral-based inks.

Authentic period prints typically exhibit plate marks, distinct paper ageing, hand-applied colouring where applicable, and typography consistent with historical publishing methods.

Antique prints can be styled using traditional timber frames to add classical contrast and sophistication to contemporary minimalist or transitional gallery walls.

Antique works on paper require conservation-grade framing, acid-free mounts, and protection from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent fading and paper degradation.
