Dominique Sornique
Dominique Sornique is an etcher and engraver whose surviving sheets belong to the early eighteenth century, and his work sits within the printmaking tradition of that era, where etched line and burin work were combined to render figure subjects. The single sheet held here, The Swimming putto, is executed in etching and engraving and dates from 1741. The archive thus holds one work by the artist, an impression from that year; the date given by the Met covers 1741 only.
