Amour Angel Augustin Legrand Maternal Pennant Tenderness Tendresse
EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled "Mother playing the flying angel game with a baby," is an exquisite depiction of maternal love and tender affection from Augustin Legrand's collection "Amour et Tendresse" (Love and Tenderness), published in Paris in 1820 by Louis Janet. The image captures a moment of pure joy and playfulness between a mother and her young child. The mother, dressed elegantly in a flowing gown, cradles her baby in one arm while extending the other to hold a pennant with a small angel figure attached. With a gentle smile, she playfully pretends to be an angel, flying through the air with her baby in tow. The baby, dressed in a delicate outfit, gazes up at his mother with wide, curious eyes, seemingly captivated by the game. The intricate details of the engraving, from the delicate folds of the mother's dress to the baby's tiny hands, are brought to life through the hand-coloring technique, adding an extra layer of warmth and charm to the scene. This charming image is a testament to the deep bond between a mother and her child and the simple joys of childhood.
