Jean François Janinet. Marie Antoinette. 1777. France. Etching and engraving printed on two sheets as follows oval portrait in wash manner on full sheet in yellow, blue, red, and black from four plates; decorative frame cut out in center, in blue and orange from two plates Very probably this rare print never appeared in a large edition not only because of the complicated procedure involved in its making, but also because the process was illegally borrowed from Jacques Fabien Gautier Dagoty, who received a royal license for the technique.
