Benoît Farjat

Benoît Farjat is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Benoît Farjat made prints in 17th–18th-century France, often turning religious virtues into etched figures. His Figure of Charity shows a mother with three children, one nursing, one sleeping, one holding a loaf, every line sharp enough to catch the light on their clothes. If the soft folds of the woman’s skirt draw you in, tap into the print to feel the hush the engraving keeps.
