Jacques Chereau

Jacques Chereau is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Jacques Chereau carved and printed delicate 18th-century scenes, trading paint for ink on paper. His print La Belle Jardinière shows a graceful woman in a garden, lace and leaves caught in soft light. Look closer and you’ll spot the way the shadows pool under her basket, the folds of her gown, the tangle of roses behind her—all etched in fine parallel lines.
