Description
Engraving, circa 1636, unlettered.
Magnificent example, printed on contemporary laid paper, trimmed at marginal line, occasional light foxing, in very good condition.
Although anonymous this engraving seems to belong to the graphic style of Denis Boutemie.
Born in Beauvais, Boutemie, court goldsmith, medal marker and engraver, is documented as having worked in Paris from 1628 to 1636. Apart from a portrait medal, there are only a few surviving works by him and his activity as a goldsmith is only known from archival evidence. Two sets of prints by Boutemie, published in 1636 by Balthasar Moncornet's Parisian publishing house in the Rue des Gobelins, thus provide important information about the style of this elusive artist.
