- Note
- Toile de Jouy translates as Cloth of Jouy. Jouy-en-Josas was the village in France where the monochrome, copperplate-style printed fabric that is patterned with these pastoral scenes originated. Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem (1620 ? 1683) was a Dutch painter and artist. He painted pastoral landscapes inspired by the Italian style and painted realistic human and animal forms as decorative elements of his scenes. This print is inspired from his painting titled, "The Ancient". Robert Jones (Robert Jones & Co.) was a printer from London who reproduced this etching of the Dutch painter in 1761.
