Auguste Gaspard Louis Boucher Desnoyers

Auguste Gaspard Louis Boucher Desnoyers is represented here by an engraving after the figure of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, placing him within the tradition of reproductive printmaking that carried painted and sculpted subjects into wide circulation. The medium suits the crisp, linear description of form for which engraved plates were prized.
