Portrait of Jules Jacquemart, from "Gazette des Beaux-Arts"
Desboutin's portrait accompanied the catalogue raisonné of the prints of Jacquemart by Louis Gonse (1846–1921) published in eight parts between 1875 and 1880. This was part of a series dealing with contemporary printmakers: "Les Graveurs Contemporains." Jacquemart was a prolific etcher who worked extensively for leading French art periodicals, including the "Gazette des Beaux-Arts" and "L'Art", reproducing particularly sculpture and decorative arts. He was a founding member of both the Société des Aquafortistes and the Société des Aquarellistes, and his reputation extended to the United States where he undertook work in 1871 for the newly founded Metropolitan Museum of Art.
