“Stalbent, Peintre Flamand” [title on plate]), c1760, after the design by
intermediary draughtsman, Noël Lemire (aka Noël Le Mire) (1724–1801),

Chéreau (1717–1755) in Paris.

The Rijksmuseum offers a description of
this print:
See also the description at Ursus Books:
and at the Museum Sztuki, Zasoby:
Condition: crisp impression trimmed with
a small margin around the image borderline. The sheet is in a generally good
condition for its large size, nevertheless, there is light surface dustiness
with tears at the lower edge, truncated lower corners and minor abrasions at the
lower right corner. The sheet has been backed with a support sheet of fine
archival/millennium quality washi paper.
I am selling this large stipple engraving
executed with a dot roulette to create the appearance of a chalk drawing (a
technique termed the “crayon manner”), for the total cost of AU$240 (currently
US$168.04/EUR148.18/GBP131.96) including postage and handling to anywhere in
the world (but not, of course, any import duties/taxes imposed by some
countries).
If you are interested in purchasing this
grand scale portrait of the Flemish painter and printmaker, Van Stalbemt,

invoice to make the payment easy.
