This print showcases the renowned French fabulist, Jean de La Fontaine (1621-1695), in all his literary glory. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than Gustave Doré (1832-1883), a visionary in the world of graphic arts. This particular portrait of La Fontaine originates from a private collection, adding an air of exclusivity and rarity to its appeal.
