This is one a few prints that we've owned for many years, hanging in our living room. It depicts a classic lady of the late 1700's in her finest dress leaning against an urn on a pedestal. It is actually a mezzotint and the background is colored in greens and pinks. Her cheeks and lips are also highlighted in pink & red. The print is signed L.BUSSIERE for Louis Busiere, a renowned Parisian Artist who was born in 1880 and died in 1960. It also has, "London, Published by Henry Graves & Co. Pall Mall".
