Gravure retouchée par Fragonard – (Engraving retouched by Fragonard.) A painter seated sketching in front of a curtain with an opening with a peak-through towards Rome and the St. Peter. Next to him painters attributes and a dog. He is leaning on a table with an hourglass. This appears to be an early state etching with ink corrections for a further state. This could very well be a frontispiece design, but we have not been able to find any reference to this image.

Description

Gravure retouchée par Fragonard

Etching with extensive ink retouch on thick hand laid (vergé) with broad chainlines (Italian?) paper.
Sheet size: 13,3 x 19,9 cm. (5,2 x 7,8 inch). Image size: 12 x 16,5 cm. (4,7 x 6,5 inch).

Price on request. State: Proof state.

Made by ‘Fragonard’ after own design. The ink manuscript addition suggests the involvement of Fragonard and the work is clearly 18th.c. Possibly the reknown Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806), who was in Rome from 1756-1761 and in 1773. We have not been able to find a finished print with this image. Possibly never executed. We would appreciate any further insights.

Condition: Good, given age. Light soiling. Several pinholes. General age-related toning and/or occasional minor defects from handling. Please study scan carefully.
