Les Compliments du jour de l'an is a 1764 paint by Louis-Marin Bonnet, a Baroque work, depicting Breastfeeding, held at National Gallery of Art.
This hand-colored print shows a woman holding a basket of flowers. The flowers look fresh and bright against her dark dress. Stippling means the artist used tiny dots to build up color and shade. This technique was new in the 1700s and made prints feel almost like paintings. Look for more stipple prints by Louis-Marin Bonnet at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
