Antoine-Jean Duclos; Augustin de Saint-Aubin
The printmakers Antoine-Jean Duclos and Augustin de Saint-Aubin were active in the European art scene, with documented joint output dating to 1774. Their work reflects the artistic concerns of the mid-to-late 18th century, focusing on highly detailed scenes suitable for reproduction and circulation.
Eight of their collaborative Antoine-Jean Duclos; Augustin de Saint-Aubin prints are represented in major institutional collections, establishing their contribution to historical print media. These works often capture aspects of contemporary social gathering and culture, exemplified by multiple impressions of the work Le bal paré and the single print Le concert.
Today, these works are held in collections such as the National Gallery of Art. The preservation of these historical assets, now often falling into the public domain, allows for the study of their collaborative technique. Access to high-quality prints derived from these collections ensures that the detailed artistry of Duclos and Saint-Aubin remains available for scholarship and appreciation.
