A. Poiteau

A. Poiteau was a printmaker whose documented output centers on detailed natural studies, active around 1800. Working during a period when printmaking served both artistic expression and scientific documentation, Poiteau specialized in subjects related to flora, suggesting a connection to botanical or horticultural illustration.

Six prints attributed to A. Poiteau are represented in major museum collections, establishing the artist's historical significance. These works, held by the National Gallery of Art, include detailed studies of various cultivars of the almond tree. Notable examples among the preserved high-quality prints include Amandier - Pecher, Amandier a feuilles de saulle, and Amandier d'Italie.

The surviving body of work, though small, showcases a commitment to meticulous detail appropriate for museum-quality presentation. Due to the age and institutional preservation of these works, A. Poiteau’s prints are frequently available to scholars and the public through digitized public domain resources.
