This chalk-manner print was engraved by the French printmaker Gilles Demarteau after a drawing by Jean-Baptiste Le Prince, using a specialized toothed-roulette technique developed to reproduce the soft, granular texture of chalk on paper. The tender subject, a young girl absorbed with a pet bird, reflects the eighteenth-century French taste for intimate genre scenes suited to private collecting.

It landed on my porch in perfect condition two days early. The detail in Young Girl Holding a Bird holds up with my face inches away.
This has been the easiest online order I have placed in years. It brings out parts of Young Girl Holding a Bird I have never seen reproduced this well. It has been through a Gulf Coast August with the AC running nonstop and looks exactly the same.
Wonderful to read, thank you. We put a lot of thought into how these are packed, so it is good to know that came through.
This shop does everything right, from checkout to delivery. My guests ask about Young Girl Holding a Bird before anything else in the house.
The subject alone sold me and the execution sealed it. The smallest marks in Young Girl Holding a Bird are still visible, which is the entire point. It has made every other thing in that room look better by association. This old rowhouse has settled every which way, and it still looks right where I put it. I am already planning the next order.
