After RAPHAEL Engraved by CHARLES-NICOLAS COCHIN THE ELDER (French, 1688-1754) Published in 1755. Signed/inscribed at the bottom "engraved by C.N.Cochin P." (The elder Cochin always added the letter P (for Pere, father) to distinguish his work from that of his identically-named son - with whom he collaborated on many projects. Size of the platemark area is approx 23.5 x 17.5 centimetres, with adequate margins beyond. CONDITION. There is a small tear in the bottom blank margin. A few handling marks, as often happens over the centuries. A little grubby at right margin. The platemark is intact and visible, with good margins beyond. Printed on "laid" paper. Papermaker's watermark/filgrane visible, in the shape of a shield. See my photo on the lightbox. A very powerful image, just look at the eyes. *** MARKETWATCH *** Zoom in on my final photo to see this item on one of the swish, upscale art sites. ***ALL MY ITEMS ARE SENT - UK & WORLDWIDE - BY TRACKED ROYAL MAIL SERVICE, FOR EVERYONE'S PEACE OF MIND. *** I COMBINE ITEMS FOR SHIPPING ***
