2 x Antique 18th Century French hand-coloured etchings by J Moryeau
$300
Offered for sale is this pair of antique mid-18th Century French hand-coloured etchings by Jean Moryeau, mounted in vintage 20th Century Italian gilt frames. Moyreau (*****1763) was a French Old Masters Artist who made a career as both painter and engraver of original and copied works.
The first etching is titled ‘La Diligence Holandoise’ (The Dutch Stagecoach), published in 1747. Translated the full dedication reads, ‘Engraved after an original painting by Pieter Wouwerman two feet wide by ? feet high which is in the room of Monsieur Crosat [Marquis] De Tugny, President of Parliament. At the Paris house of Moyreau engraver to the king, St Jacques Street at the old post office opposite Plâtre Street’. This image is taken from the original 17th Century Old Dutch Master work by Pieter Wouwerman titled, ‘De halte voor de herberg’ (The stop in front of the inn). The busy scene depicts a covered coach outside a rustic inn, with passengers and horses resting before their journey continues. All of this is set in a rural landscape with livestock, farmers and fishermen all engaged in day-to-day activity. Pieter Wouwerman (*****1668) was a versatile and prolific artist from the Dutch Golden Age and regarded as an expert in equestrian paintings.
In very good original condition, there is a slight fold to the bottom right of the etching but no tears or losses. Measures 52.5cm (w) x 42.5cm (h) framed (approx.).
The second etching is also by Moyreau after another Wouwerman work. Published in 1749 and titled, ‘L’abreuvoir Hollandois’ (The Dutching watering place/hole (or waterers/bathers)). Translated the title reads, ‘Engraved after an original painting by Pieter Wouwerman of twenty-one inches six lines wide, about seventeen inches high. Which is in the room of Monsieur De La Haye tax farmer [collector]. 1749. With the privilege of the king.’. Despite extensive research, the original work by Wouwerman cannot currently identified, however the De La Haye mentioned is most likely Marin De La Haye (*****1753). Set in a township landscape, next to a bridge a diverse group of people and animals are doing domestic chores, watering themselves or bathing. New arrivals (soldiers and lookers-on) appear to be either waiting their turn or about to take the plunge! A busy scene with lots of action.
In very good original condition. Measures 52.5cm (w) x 42.5cm (h) framed (approx.).
