We are pleased to offer a selection of vintage art sourced by our founders Don and John during their travels. Here, a wonderful early engraving of a Dutch couple in traditional costume posed in a landscape. The exceptional hand-applied color details make this a really special piece. We especially love the attention to fine details on the two faces - just look at those rosy cheeks! This original engraving was printed by Engelmann et Cie, a well known French lithography studio in the 1800's. The text at the bottom in both French and Dutch reads: peasant and peasant woman of the Isle of Zuid Beveland. The coordinating matte in a hand-painted blue plaid pattern was created specifically for this engraving in the PATCH NYC studio. The vintage frame is wood with a narrow metallic gold inset. Original hand-colored French engraving on paper with hand-painted coordinating matte under glass in a vintage wood frame. Frame measures about 14.25"h x 11"w.

This engraving and frame will have small imperfections due to age but we think this adds to the vintage charm & character.
