Description: French Nicolas de Larmessin, Ca. 1695 Framed Engraving. Paris: Nicolas de Larmessin, Ca. 1695. Original copperplate etching on laid paper. Sheet measures 14 x 10 inches; plate measures 10.5 x 7.5 inches. Condition is not good, toning From a series of satirical prints first started by Nicolas I de Larmessin (1634-1694) and continued by his younger brother Nicolas II de Larmessin (1640-1725), who re-engraved his brother's images in reverse starting in 1695 and added a number of his own original works to the series. This is one of Nicolas II's re-engravings in reverse, in which the background is simplified. Between the two brothers, there were over 80 satirical etchings produced of professions and trades, all rare on the market. They surely owe a debt to Archimboldo, and perhaps Dali, Ernst and others owe a debt to Larmessin. Framed Please check my second two I have up for sale
