Jacques Bonnefoy d'Arles
Jacques Bonnefoy d'Arles is represented in this archive by a single sheet, an example of stipple engraving in its first state. The printmaking approach relies on tonal modelling built from small dots rather than linear hatching, a method suited to the delicate rendering of its subject. The holding is dated 1804, and the example carries the title The Secret. Impressions up to that year are what the collection documents, offering a narrow but coherent glimpse of the artist's output in this technique.
