David DeucharThe Card Players, Late 18th Century British Etching
About the Item
Etching laid on paper
Image size: 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 inches (8 x 8 cm)
This etching is after a work by Adriaen van Ostade, a 17th century Dutch artist.
This wonderful etching shows a group of five men playing a game of cards around a small rickety table. The group is made up from a selection of colourful characters, all fully immersed in the activity. The detail of the scene is breathtaking, note the coins and pipe on the table to the fallen cards by the men's feet.
This scene of rural life exudes exemplifies Ostade's youthful style and the type of low-life scenes he produce during the first phase of his career. The artist devoted hundreds of canvases and panels to depicting rural folk enjoying a dance or a drink, singing songs, and enjoying the pleasures of the pipe.
This style of figure-group is typical of Adriaen van Ostade's work form the 1650s onwards. Scenes of groups of peasant figures often captured at ease outside country buildings - often inns - formed a substantial part of Adriaen van Ostafe's etched oeuvre. However, this is a scene of an interior - framed by two walls the group of men seem to have grouped here to escape from the cold, on the chair in the right foreground sits a pair of gloves recently taken off.
The Artist
David Deuchar was a seal engraver and amateur etcher from Edinburgh. He and his brother Alexander Deuchar were appointed Seal-Engravers to the Prince of Wales ca. 1786. In 1803 Deuchar published three volumes 'A Collection of Etchings after Masters of the Dutch and Flemish School' that included works after artists such as Ostade and Rembrandt.
Deuchar's works can now be found in the collection of the Royal Academy, the National Gallery of Art and the V&A.

Parmigiani Amica: An 18th Century Engraving and Etching by Strange After Mazzola
Located in Alamo, CA
This is an 18th century engraving and etching entitled "Parmigiani Amica" by Robert Strange after a painting by Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola, better known as Parmigianino, who lived during the Renaissance period. It was published in London in 1774. As the inscription states, the painting was in the collection of the King of Naples at the time the engraving was made. The engraving depicts a half-length portrait of a young woman, known as Parmigiani's Amica (meaning "female friend" in Italian). She is depicted wearing a simple but elegant dress with a low-cut neckline, which reveals her delicate features and graceful neck. Her hair is arranged in a simple yet stylish manner. She is turning to the right to look lovingly at her infant, which she is holding with her right arm. She is touching the baby's mouth with her left hand. The background of the engraving is plain and unadorned, allowing the viewer to focus entirely on the subject of the portrait. The result is a beautiful and timeless image that captures the essence of Renaissance portraiture.
The engraving is printed on watermarked paper. The sheet measures 16.25" high and 12' wide. The sheet is adhered to paper in its upper corners and it has been removed from the paper in its lower corners. There is some mild discoloration and some wrinkling in the margins, including the lower inscription area, and a small dark spot in the upper margin, which may represent a drop of ink occuring at the time of printing. These issues do not involve the image, which is in very good condition. The print is held by several museums and institutions, including: The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, The British Museum in London, The Royal Museums of the UK, The British National Trust...
