Richard Earlom after Claude Lorrain - 1775 Mezzotint, Driving Cattle

1775

About the Item

A fine and striking sepia mezzotint engraved by Richard Earlom (1743-1822) after the original drawing by Claude Lorrain (1600-1682). Earlom was an accomplished engraver and has used a mix of etching for the graphic lines and mezzotint for the ink washes to create a print with high contrast that mimics Lorrain's fine penmanship. The engraving shows a young man and his dog driving cattle across a for at the bottom of fort town. The engraving has been inscribed in plate with the names of the engraver, artist and publisher. The engraving is presented in a grey card mount and a thin, glazed, gilt frame. On laid.
