Drie Gratiën 1685 - 1785

"Drie Gratiën" (The Three Graces) is an engraving by Jacques Jean Pasquier, a French artist active in the late 18th century. The artwork depicts the three Graces, classical goddesses of beauty, charm, and grace, standing together in a landscape setting. Pasquier's engraving is a masterful rendering of the classical subject, showcasing detailed anatomical accuracy and fluid lines that emphasize the elegance of the figures. The print is likely a reproduction of a larger painting, as it is dedicated to "Monseigneur le Prince," likely referring to a nobleman of the time. The work's dedication suggests a connection to the royal courts of Europe and highlights the enduring popularity of classical themes in the arts.
