notes: label: Description
content: <I>Le Soldat et la Fillette Qui Rit</I> is the only painting by Johannes Vermeer (1632–1675) that Jules Jacquemart etched. His first attempt to etch a painting in 1861 was a failure, as apparently he had been unable to work directly from the subject. Not until five years later in 1866 did he make a second attempt at etching a painting, this print after Vermeer. It was considered to be one of the best reproductive etchings of the time. The Vermeer painting now hangs in the Frick Collection, New York. But when Jacquemart etched it for the <I>Gazette des Beaux-Arts</I>, it was in the collection of Léopold Double, a French artillery officer, bibliophile, and art collector.
