A Woman Peeling Pears. Artist: Wallerant Vaillant (Dutch, Lille 1623-1677 Amsterdam). Dimensions: Sheet: 9 3/4 x 12 1/16 in. (24.8 x 30.7 cm). Date: mid-17th century.Vaillant learned the mezzotint technique from Prince Rupert of the Rhine, whom he met and assisted during a visit to Frankfurt am Main in 1658. Active in Amsterdam and Paris, Vaillant became the first professional mezzotint-engraver, whose works achieved success throughout Europe. Here, he presents a domestic scene of his own design, showing a woman (presumably a servant) peeling fruit.
