Literarature: Jean-Richard 1535 (I/IV) ; Le Blanc 6 ; Portalis & Beraldi III, 2nd part, p.417 ; Ananoff 1742 (ill.fig.672, p.336); Joubert 1821 vol.III, p.32.
Very fine impression in its etched state before all letters, trimmed within platemark. Watermark: Double-headed eagle.
It is after the painting exhibited at the Salon in 1742, now in the collection of the National Museum of Stockholm (inv. NM771).
Ryland stayed in Paris for around five years, studying drawing under François Boucher, and engraving under Jacques Philippe Le Bas. During his stay Ryland produced several engravings after Old Masters and Boucher. On returning to England, he lived in London and excelled in the trade of engraving, becoming an engraver to the king. However, after some risky business decisions he declared bankrupt in 1771. In 1783 he was found guilty of forgery and imprisoned. Several months later he was hanged at Tyburn leaving behind a wife and six children.
