An original etching designed and etched by Jean Le Pautre (1618-1682), the ornamaker whose Baroque vocabulary furnished the Louis XIV interior and whose plates are held by the Metropolitan Museum. Signed in the plate \"I. le Potre In. et fecit\" and carrying the Paris address of the printseller Le Blond, a la Cloche d'Argent, rue St Denis. Le Blond issued Le Pautre's plates from about 1651, a century before the Jombert collected edition that accounts for most surviving impressions.
