label: Description
content: This is an etching in color of the architect Claude Nicolas Ledoux's house on the rue Poissonière in Paris, a fashionable neighborhood to live in at the time. Janinet is considered the inventor of an innovative aquatint method of etching, involving printing each seperate color one on top of the other. He was the chief color engraver of his time. Other similar "oculus" views of Parisian monuments are also attributed to him, seemingly produced around the same period.
