Description: ORIGINAL 18th CENTURY FRENCH ETCHING Study of the head of an old man - possibly a saint or prophet? 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. The left hand corner shows "Raphael pinxit" but it is virtually illegible (faded) Size of the platemark area is approx 23.5 x 17.5 centimetres, with adequate margins beyond. CONDITION. Generally grubby, and many handling marks. A shame, as it's a good print, freely executed by Cochin senior. Printed on "laid" paper. Papermaker's watermark/filgrane visible, in the shape of a bunch of grapes. See my photo on the lightbox. ***ALL MY ITEMS ARE SENT - UK & WORLDWIDE - BY TRACKED ROYAL MAIL SERVICE, FOR EVERYONE'S PEACE OF MIND. *** I COMBINE ITEMS FOR SHIPPING ***
