Jacques-Philippe Le Bas Jean Eric Rehn Jean-Baptiste Oudry

The collaborative printmaking work attributed to Jacques-Philippe Le Bas, Jean Eric Rehn, and Jean-Baptiste Oudry spans the early 18th century, with their documented activity centered between 1707 and 1735. Oudry (1686-1755), a key figure in French art, specialized in animal subjects, and the prints associated with this collective are derived from these detailed animal studies, executed by engravers such as Le Bas.

Seven prints attributed to this group are held in museum collections, establishing their presence within 18th-century European graphic arts. Examples of their work are housed at the National Gallery of Art. The documented subjects focus on natural history and hunting scenes, including Blereau (Badger), Chien courent (Running Hound), Mulet (Mule or Saddled Donkey), and Loup pris au piege (Wolf Caught in a Trap).

These high-quality prints showcase technical mastery in etching and engraving, techniques used to disseminate the compositions of prominent painters. Reproductions of these Jacques-Philippe Le Bas Jean Eric Rehn Jean-Baptiste Oudry prints, often designated as museum-quality, are frequently found in the public domain as downloadable artwork for research and study.
