Two Friezes with Playing Putti, Premier Livre, Sixieme Cahier, plate 34 from "L'Oeuvre de J. B. Huet"
These two friezes appear on the bottom of plate 34 in the first part of the oeuvre catalogue of Jean-Baptiste Huet, published around 1780. Each page shows various compositions by the French artist, who was known for his animal illustrations. Huet's signature is missing in this print, suggesting that the letters had faded or were erased by the time of publication.
