Rare and beautiful etching on wove paper with a watermark, BFK Rives, signed, titled, and published by the Société Française des Amis des Arts around 1900.

Flameng under the engraving in the center Engraved signature François Flameng 1890-91 in the engraving lower right & Blank signature of the Société Française des Amis des Arts under the engraving lower left. Léopold Flameng, Belgian painter and engraver, was born to French parents. He was a student of Luigi Calamatta and Jean Gigoux. His skill as a burinist brought him to the attention of Charles Blanc, and his collaboration on publications such as L'Artiste and the Gazette des beaux-arts, with Léon Gaucherel, was one of the first engravers for this magazine, which would establish his reputation. Georges Duplessis, art historian, quotes him in a work published in 1869: "Léopold Flameng rose in his time to the rank of master." He received a medal at the 1878 World's Fair. Known for his etchings after Jan van Eyck, Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, Ingres, and Eugène Delacroix, he illustrated several books on Paris as well as numerous literary works by classical and contemporary authors, including Boccaccio, Paul Scarron, Victor Hugo, and François Coppée. François Flameng was the son of the famous painter and engraver Léopold Flameng. He attended the Lycée Louis-le-Grand in Paris for his secondary education. Learning to paint from his father, he entered the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in the studio of Alexandre Cabanel, then in those of Pierre Edmond Alexandre Hédouin and Jean-Paul Laurens. As early as 1870, he produced several reproductions of works by painters Alfred Sisley, Édouard Manet, and Claude Monet for the catalog of the Durand-Ruel Gallery. In 1875, he made his debut at the Salon des Artistes Français with his painting "Le Lectern." He received numerous commissions for portraits, historical scenes, and decorative paintings. His academic style, combining precise drawing and mastery of color, appealed to the bourgeoisie and aristocracy of the time. During his career, François Flameng was elevated to the rank of Officer of the Legion of Honor and elected a member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts. He left behind a considerable artistic legacy. His works, preserved in the world's greatest museums, bear witness to his exceptional talent and his significant contribution to French art of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Title "Les bulles de savon" (The Soap Bubble Game) lithographed by Jules-Gabriel Dubois-Menant (1855-1921), after the painting by Joseph Bail (1862-1921) The lithograph is in very good condition with a small amount of sunning on the right edge of the sheet that will not be visible when the print is framed. Dimensions: "Les bulles de savon" print: Sheet: 320 x 456 mm - Engraving: 210 x 305 mm + signature Engraved signature: Duboismenant below the lithograph on the right & Embossed stamp/Signature of the Société Française des Amis des Arts below the print in the lower right corner. Jules Gabriel Dubois-Menant (1855-1921) was a French painter, lithographer, and photographer specializing in portraiture. In addition to portraits painted in oils and pastels, he produced original and reproduction lithographs. He was a member of the Society of French Lithographers, for which he wrote a booklet. He participated in the series of Painters-Lithographers albums from 1892 onward, and later joined the Society of Painters-Lithographers. One of his notable lithographs is The Old Goat Sheepfold, as well as a portrait of Jules Verne (Salon of 1897). Joseph Bail (1862-1921) was a French naturalist painter. Younger brother of the painter Franck Bail (1858-1924), Joseph Bail received his first training from his father, Antoine Jean Bail (1830-1919), a practitioner of the realist tradition of genre subjects, before passing through the studios of Jean-Léon Gérôme and Carolus-Duran[2]. As a teenager, he produced his first still lifes in 1878 (Sea Fish and Oysters). A year later, he presented works at the Salon des Artistes Français. A few years later, he became one of the youngest recipients of the medal of honor for his painting Trinkets from the Cluny Museum at the Salon of 1886, then for his famous The Kitchen Boy (1887). Passionate about the world of gastronomy, he painted food as much as those who helped to prepare it. He portrays the kitchen boys in different ways in La Cigarette ou Le Repos (1892), as well as in La Besogne faite (1893), where the young assistant, slumped on a chair, casually smokes a cigarette. He continued in the same vein with Les Cuisiniers (1894), Reflections of the Sun (1895), and Battle of Dogs (1896). He received the gold medal at the 1900 World's Fair for three major works: Le Goûter (Tea Time), Bulles de savon (Soap Bubbles), and La Servante (The Maid).[4] The Société Française des Amis des Arts was founded in 1885 at the Palais de l'Industrie for the development of the arts, supported by numerous eminent subscribers: Messrs.
