La Raison is a beautiful hand-watercolored lithograph on wire rod paper, realized by the French genre painter Antoine Carré, as the inscriptions on plate report below the oval engraving, "Dessiné par Desrais / Gravé par Carré." This engraving was made after an original painting by the French artist Claude-Louis Desrais, published by Paul André Basset, as the inscription on plate below the central title reports: "A Paris, chez Basset. M.d d'Estampes, rue Jacques, au coin de celle des Mathurins." This original print depicting an allegorical subject, full of symbols, shows the personification of Reason, represented as a woman with helmet and armor petting a roaring lion and holding a bundle in which a snake and a small French flag are wrapped. In very good conditions, except for some imperceptible stains spread on the margins. Including a white cardboard passepartout. Claude-Louis Desrais (Paris, 1746 - 1816) was a French painter and illustrator, pupil of Francesco Casanova.
