Officer and Laughing Girl, after Vermeer

After Johannes Vermeer Dutch
ca. 1866
Not on view
The "Gazette des Beaux-Arts" first published this etching as an illustration to an article on Vermeer by Théophile Thoré-Bürger. The French collector Léopold Double owned the painting at the time, which accounts for the etched crest below the image. This was Jacquemart’s first successful foray into reproducing a painting, after specializing previously in three-dimensional objects. He included an impression of this print in the selection of works he exhibited at the 1867 Exposition Universelle, where he earned a third-class medal.
