Paris, 1773. Colored mezzotint. National Library of Medicine

Jacques Fabien Gautier D’Agoty
(1717-1785)
[author/artist/printer]

Gautier D’Agoty’s colored mezzotints have a painterly quality. This pregnant woman calmly looks back at the viewer, a characteristic pose of 18th-century French portraiture.
