Claude Augustin Duflos le Jeune
Claude Augustin Duflos le Jeune belongs to the French etching tradition of the eighteenth century, carrying the Rococo ornamental manner and mythological and allegorical subjects onto the copper plate. His preferred media are etching and engraving with the burin, often combined on a single sheet. The archive gathers 28 prints, mostly etchings with engraving, made between 1735 and 1753, with impressions up to that later date. Subjects range from rocaille ornament to Leda and the Swan and allegories of poetry such as pastoral, epic, satirical and lyrical verse.
