French artist Michel-Guillaume Aubert was equally adept at dry-point engraving, etching, and carving plates with the “French chisel” (the burin). Aubert produced many historical scenes and portraits over his career. Here we see a mounted Louis, Dauphin of France whom destiny would rob of the throne in a Gallic tragedy.
