Marie Catherine Prestel
Marie Catherine Prestel is represented here by a single aquatint sheet, a printmaking technique well suited to the tonal rendering of equestrian subjects such as the example titled "Three horsemen." The Met's dating places the sheet at 1770, and any impressions beyond the artist's lifetime should be understood as later printings from the same plate. The collection accordingly holds one work in aquatint, dating to that single year, offering a compact point of entry into her printed output.
