A fine original hand coloured copperplate from this attractive series of neo-classical designs by Pergolesi, a prolific Italian designer, painter and engraver of antique ornaments who came to England in 1760 at the invitation of Robert and James Adam. In 1777 he began issuing suites of engravings of designs for ceilings, panels, friezes, furniture and other ornaments. Some fifty of these plates had appeared by March 1785 when publication was suspended for six years, probably due to the death in 1786 of his patron, Hugh Percy, 2nd Duke of Northumberland.
Unusual and extremely decorative mount with gilt strip. Additional gilt moulded element within the mount. Clean and with bright colouring.
Light rubbing to edge of mount.
