Antoinette Bouzonnet-Stella was a French engraver.
She was born at Lyons in about 1641, [1] the daughter of Étienne Bouzonnet, a goldsmith, and his wife, Madeleine Stella (sister of the artist Jacques Stella). [2] Her siblings included Antoine and Claudine Bouzonnet-Stella. [1]
According to Joseph Strutt:
She made more use of the point than her sister [i.e. Claudine], and etched in a very powerful style. She harmonized the roughness, left by the aqua-fortis, with the graver, in such a manner as to produce a pleasing effect. She drew correctly, especially the extremities of the human figure, which she expressed with great taste. [3]
She died in Paris at the age of 35 in 1676, having suffered a fall. [1] A third sister, Françoise, was also an engraver. [4]
Her works include: [4]
