In particular, as an engraver, he created copper-plate textiles, that captures the toile fabrics still seen today.
The concept of printing scenes from a manufacturing process exemplifies the Enlightenment fascination with human accomplishment.

I was unable to find any information about this particular painting, although Huet did many with the same bucolic sentiment. It is likely this painting is in a private collection and therefore quite rare.

It is a fun painting. You are not sure if the shepherdess is dreaming about carnal love, or if her lover has just left her to dream.
