XIXth ENGRAVING THE DISCREET MESSAGER BY R GAILLARD XIXTH FRAME PERLE A4305 Here is a 19th century engraving entitled "The Messenger". It is signed F. Boucher Pinxit and René Gaillard, it's a cover. The beaded frame is also from the 19th century. François Boucher (1703-1770) was a French painter and René Gaillard (1719-1790) an engraver. Unfortunately the work is very damaged, perfect for someone who likes works with charm and antiquity. We note numerous spots and freckles on the engraving and in the margin. Note also friction, wear of gilding and gaps on the frame. Sold untouched, unrestored. For the state thank you for detailing the photos. Do not hesitate to zoom.
