$0.00
A finely framed pair of original 18th century engraved versions of original drawings by the 17th century French Old Master artist Claude Lorrain, from the collection of the Duke of Devonshire. Depicted are Plate #’s 38 and #190, both bucolic scenes. One depicts country life in the classical world amid Roman ruins, the other shows a magnificent thicket of trees with an angel kneeling before a mother and child rendered in painterly sepia wash coloring on wove paper. The release of these engravings etched by Robert Earlom and published by John Boydell, was in 1774 and 1777. The plates are in very good condition with deep, clear plate marks. The frames have an attractively antiqued gilded finish and grey double matting.
