Le Trait Dangereux
Le Trait Dangereux is a superb black and white etching and burin on paper, realized in 1742 by J.F. Poletnich , after François Boucher .
A beautiful woman is unsheathing an arrow and is wrapped by a dramatic drapery: you can breathe a Neoclassic air.
With inscriptions of the authors on the sides, the title engraved in capital letters on the lower margin at the center. " Paris chez Basam " is the inscription pointing where to buy the artwork at the time.
In good conditions, except for a diffused foxing above all on the margins and a usual yellowing of the paper, this original print has preserved all its beauty, charisma, and amazing lifetime impressions. Including a cardboard passepartout, cm 67.5 x 55.
A copy before letters is preserved at the Louvre Museum in Paris.
