Etching by Claude Lorrain, titled Landscape with Brigands, dating to 1633, in good condition, plate signed, 14 by 20 cm, Italy origin.
Description from the seller
Late impression from the original copper plate. The mountains in the background are fainter than in earlier impressions.
Inscription content: Signed in the lower margin to the right: 'Claudius in sup. P'; rest of inscriptions either removed or worn out.
From a collection of prints of Rembrandt, Claude and Wierotter etchings c 1826 from the original plates.
Verso has an unidentified collector’s stamp. ‘lR’ In a circle. L.6231 On croit lire au centre de ce cachet les lettres capitales I R à l’intérieur d’un cercle, mais si l’on considère que le bas des lettres n’a pas été bien encré, il est aussi possible d’y voir les lettres I B. Ce cachet figure sur un dessin de Gillis Neyts (1623-1687), Paysage avec un port (vente Heidelberg, Winterberg, Herbstauktion 75, 10 novembre 2007, no 120). (Lugt website)
