Antique French Prints Of Chinese Artisans: Brodeuse (Embroideress), Fabricante De Bas (Stocking Maker)

Beautiful antique print of a Chinese “Brodeuse”, or embroideress. Engraved by Schmidt, also reading “Imp. Litho. de Melle Formentin". This work is paired with an antique print of a very similar style, entitled “Fabricant de bas” (stocking maker). This piece is also marked with “Imp. Litho. de Melle Formentin". While not certain, it is likely one or both of these pieces were published in the 1820s French edition of La Chine, Moeurs, Usages, Arts et Métiers, Peines Civiles et Militaires, Cérémonies Religieuses, Monuments et Paysages (Picturesque Representations of the Dress and Manners of the Chinese), Paris: Chez L Éditeur, Goujon et Melle Formentin, Firmin Didot, 1825-27.

Set in gold frames. 14.5” x 12.2”
