After Jean-François de Troy. Lorrain would have known De Troy during his stay in Rome, while the latter was the Director of the French Academy there, as well as cultural ambassador for France, from 1738. The Judgement of Solomon was painted in 1742. Lorrain made three other etchings after paintings by this master, as well as interpreting his own compositions in the small handful of prints that he executed. His etching style retains suggestions of the 17th Century French manner of artists such as La Hyre. LeBlanc 1; Inventaire du Fonds français 1. A fine impression, trimmed on the platemark all round. A minor abrasion on the etcher’s name, a couple of pencil numbers on the verso, otherwise in very good condition.
