This print shows a fancy fountain shaped like curling shells and seaweed. It looks like something you’d see in a royal garden, all swirly and playful. The artist made this around 1736. Back then, France loved this light, decorative style called Rococo. It loved curves and shells and made even fountains feel like art. Check out more Rococo prints by Gabriel Huquier at the Cleveland Museum of Art.
