Augustin de Saint-Aubin

Augustin de Saint-Aubin belongs to the French Rococo printmaking tradition, working above all in etching and engraving and drawing on classical mythology for his subjects. This archive holds two of his sheets, both in the etching and engraving technique and present in the third state of three as described by Bocher, with subjects including Vertumnus and Pomona and Arion. The prints are dated 1763–1765, and impressions up to that span may reflect later printings rather than the artist's own lifetime alone.
