Not on view

This bound set of prints compiles several suites of aquatints that Saint-Non began publishing in 1770. The two printed together on the page on view are based on Fragonard’s drawings of The Circumcision after Tintoretto and The Last Supper after Sebastiano Ricci. Fragonard had made etchings of the same drawings a few years earlier.
