Comte de Caylus, Expressive Head Studies of Riders, an etching plate signed, in good condition on laid paper with a Japan impression, France, 18th century, 13 by 18 cm.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Good impression on Japan. Laid down on paper.

Caylus was an archaeologist, collector, amateur etcher (often signs 'C*') and writer about art; member of the Academy of Painting (1731), and of the Academy of Inscriptions & Belles-Lettres (1742). One of the first individuals to illustrate the shape rather than simply the design of ancient Near Eastern cylinder seals.

Condtion is good. Wrinkled paper.
