JACQUES CALLOT
La Rue Neuve, Nancy.

Etching, circa 1627. 168x510 mm; 6 3/4x20 1/4 inches, narow to thread margins. First state (of 2), before the address of Israel. Ex-collection Robert Hartshorne (Lugt 2215b, lower left verso); thence by descent to the current owner. A superb, early impression of this important etching with very strong contrasts and all the details distinct.

A view of a carnival during the early 1600s in Callot's (1592-1635) hometown of Nancy, France. Lieure 589.
