Portrait of Sebastiano Ricci, Italian painter of the late Baroque 1659-1734. Sebastien Ricci. Copperplate engraving from Antoine-Joseph Dezallier dArgenvilles Abrege de la vie des plus fameux peintres, Lives of the most Famous Artists, de Bure lAine, Paris, 1762.Antoine Watteau, c. 1727. François Boucher (French, 1703-1770), after Jean Antoine Watteau (French, 1684-1721). Etching and engraving; sheet: 37.3 x 26.4 cm (14 11/16 x 10 3/8 in.); platemark: 35.1 x 24.2 cm (13 13/16 x 9 1/2 in.). This etching served as the frontispiece for Jean de Julliennes The Works of Antoine Watteau (LOeuvre dAntoine Watteau). Early in his career, Boucher reproduced more than 100 etchings of Watteaus works for the publication, learning to emulate his elegant draftsmanship. This had a lasting effect on the young artist, as is evident in a comparison of Bouchers Andromeda with Watteaus The Clothes Are Italian, both on view nearby. The tribute to Watteau inscribed below the portrait translates: Watteau, adorned by Nature with happy talents,Was very grateful for the gifts she gave him:Never has another hand painted her more beautifully,Nor been known to display her with features so gallant.J. Dolaeus. .Self-portrait.PortraT van Caspar Stieler, Johann Alexander Böner, 1668 - 1720 print Print Maker: Nururbergerfurt paper engraving historical persons. armorial bearing, heraldry. walking-stick, staff. fruits and vegetables ~ ornamentNEWxt, ISAIAL MILLIE: Bernič, Mengevi; Glenish 11 Friedr, Johan Frediich Del Price.
