Set of 2 1940s Framed Nicolas Lancret Prints 12 1/4 by 14 1/4". Includes "The Seesaw" and Dropping Hankie". They measure 14 1/4" by 12 1/4". Very good condition. There is damage to the paper on the back of both of them.
This exquisite set of framed prints brings the playful elegance of the French Rococo period into your home. Produced in the 1940s, these prints reproduce the famous works of Nicolas Lancret (1690–1743), an artist who excelled at capturing the spirit of the French court and aristocracy during the reign of Louis XV. The collection includes "The Seesaw," a vibrant scene of pastoral amusement, and "Dropping the Hankie," an amorous game of pursuit common in the romanticized "gallant" art of the era.
Each print is housed in its original fluted, gold-toned frame, which perfectly complements the warm, soft color palette and ornate aesthetic of the artwork. Measuring 14 1/4" by 12 1/4", these matted pieces are ideal for creating a sophisticated gallery wall or adding a touch of classic European charm to a bedroom, parlor, or dining room. Unlike modern giclée reproductions, these 1940s vintage prints possess a subtle texture and aged patina that only authentic mid-century collectibles can offer.
These items are vintage, over 80 years old. While the items appear to be in very good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw, I would reach out prior to sending them.
