Artiste: Claude Gellée dit Le Lorrain (Chamagne c. 1600 – 1682 Rome)
Date: 1630-1633
Technique: eau-forte
Dimensions: 10,4 x 17,2 cm

Catalogue raisonné: Mannocci 9 i/iv

Excellente épreuve sur vergé dans un tirage de la fin du XVIIe ou du début du XVIIIe siècle. Mannocci précise d’ailleurs:

This plate was never reworked by Claude and the inscription, which characterizes the next state (i.e. « N 44 p 13 »), was not added until the middle of the eighteenth century. Hence, there are impressions on early eighteenth-century paper which are still very fine.
