Description:
This print is a persiflage of Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665), a well-known seventeenth century painter. A very large part of the European wine harvest was spoiled this year because of a disease caused by a parasite. None of the known remedies worked and the French wine producers were facing commercial ruin.
