Louis-Marin Bonnet
Louis-Marin Bonnet was a painter and engraver, and as such, he invented one of the first color-printing methods with many matrices and with a pastel-like effect. In 1769, he published a treatise titled Le Pastel en gravure inventé, et execute par Louis Bonnet, about his new method. His workshop, in Rue St. Jacques since 1772, has produced many works of diverse quality from nearly perfect printed reproductions of masterpieces in pastel colors to genre scenes and illustrations, like the one in this study, realized under his direction and always in line with the new technique of the pastel manner. The work Le Petit-Maître is an amusing and typical 18th-century illustration in costume and probably the represented character is the protagonist of a 1734 comedy by Pierre de Marivaux.
