This print shows a fancy stone fountain shaped like shells and rocks. Water spills from hidden places. Two fish curl around the base. Gabriel Huquier copied designs by François Boucher. Boucher mixed animals, rocks, and mythical creatures into playful piles. The fountain looks ready to tip over any second. Check out Gabriel Huquier’s other prints at the Cleveland Museum of Art.
