Claude Henri Watelet
Claude Henri Watelet is represented in this archive by a single etching, The Flight into Egypt: Small Plate, which places him within the printmaking tradition of his era and among artists drawn to biblical narrative. The scene belongs to the well-established iconography of the Holy Family's escape, a subject widely treated by European etchers of his time. This collection holds just one sheet by the artist, executed entirely in etching, so the holdings offer a narrow but focused glimpse of his work on paper rather than a broad survey. No life dates or nationality are recorded here, and the Met provides no dating for the sheet.
