NICOLAS DORIGNY (after Raphael)
The History of Cupid and Psyche.

Group of 8 (of 12) etchings with extensive hand coloring in watercolor and gouache, 1693. Each approximately 400x675 mm; 153/4x265/8 inches, small to wide margins. Very good impressions of these large prints with vibrant colors; scarce in this state of preservation with the extensive hand coloring.

Dorigny's etchings are based on Raphael's frescoes in the Villa Farnesina, Rome, executed between 1516 and 1518.
