About the Item

Mother and Child at Mealtime – Antique Engraving “Guten Appetit!”, c. 1890 This charming antique engraving, titled “Guten Appetit!” (Good Appetite!), captures an intimate moment between a mother and her child. Created around 1890, the print beautifully depicts a tender domestic scene in exquisite detail, reflecting the timeless themes of motherhood and the nurturing bond between parent and child. The mother, wearing a rustic headscarf and a simple dress, gazes lovingly at her child as she carefully spoons food to him. The child, dressed in a bib and cradling a large bowl, gazes forward with a serious, focused expression. The engraving masterfully captures the textures of the fabric, the soft curls of the mother’s hair, and the innocent roundness of the child’s cheeks. A small doll clutched in the child’s lap adds a gentle touch of playfulness and domestic warmth. The background of the image is subtly filled with a few floral elements, evoking the simplicity and coziness of home life in the late 19th century. The composition, focused tightly on the figures, conveys a powerful sense of closeness and intimacy, making it a moving depiction of family life. This engraving would make a wonderful addition to any collection of antique prints or artwork celebrating family and domestic life. Its classic subject matter and meticulous craftsmanship ensure its enduring appeal for art enthusiasts and collectors alike. Condition Report : This antique engraving is in good condition with mild toning and some age-related foxing. The details remain crisp and the overall image retains its warm and intimate character. Tips for framing: Use a cream or soft ivory mat to highlight the intricate details. A simple black or dark wooden frame will create an elegant, timeless presentation that complements the warm sentiment of the scene.

Title "Frère et soeur" (brother and sister) engraved by Adolphe Grauk (1865-1945), after the painting by Aimé Nicolas Morot (1850-1913) The engraving is in very good condition with some fading to the right edge of the sheet which will not be visible when the engraving is framed Dimensions: "Frère et soeur" etching: Sheet: 460 x 332 mm - Engraving: 250 x 250 mm - Engraving plate: 320 x 280 mm Engraved signature: A. Grauk below the engraving on the right & Blank signature of the Société Française des Amis des Arts under the engraving lower right. Adolphe Crauk, born in Valenciennes on May 24, 1865 and died on December 13, 1945, was a French engraver and painter. A pupil of David Joseph Desvachez in Valenciennes and then in Paris of Alexandre Cabanel, Louis-Pierre Henriquel-Dupont, and Jules Jacquet, he exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français from 1887 onward, receiving an honorable mention in 1893, a 3rd-class medal in 1896, a travel grant in 1897, and a 1st-class medal in 1905, the year he was selected as an hors-competition. He also received an honorable mention at the 1900 World's Fair. Aimé Nicolas Morot, born on June 16, 1850 in Nancy and died on August 12, 1913 in Dinard, was a French painter and sculptor. He studied at the Nancy School of Drawing and Painting under Claude-Émile Thiéry and Charles Sellier before becoming, through a competitive examination, a student of the painter Alexandre Cabanel at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris on May 31, 1869. He competed four times, unsuccessfully, for the Prix de Rome, before winning in 1873 with The Captivity of the Jews in Babylon. Upon marrying Suzanne Gérôme, he became the son-in-law of the painter Jean-Léon Gérôme; he was a friend of the painter and sculptor Édouard Paul Mérite. He exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français from 1880 to 1912, where he received a medal of honor for his first participation for The Good Samaritan. As an academic and professor at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts, a frequent exhibitor at the Salon des artistes français in Paris, and a member of the painting jury, Aimé Morot was an influential figure in Parisian art circles, one of the 18 most influential members of the Institut de France. 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 distinguished subscribers: Messrs. Gaston Doumergue (President of the French Republic), Baron Edmond de Rothschild, Count Greffulhe, the brothers Alfred, Jules, and Léon Bernheim, Louis Boucheron, Edgar Brandt, Emile Buland, Paul Chabas, Viscount Guy de Dampierre, Colonel Francis E. Drake, André Fallières, Louis Lévy, Paul Louchet, Maurice Moisset, Louis Montagné...
