CHARLES-NICOLAS COCHIN II (ATTRIBUTED)
(1715 Paris 1790)
Interior scene with a wedding party. From the life of Henry IV.
Red chalk.
Old contemporary mount with old inscription in brown pen on the reverse: Par, Raoux. un épisode du temps d' Henry IV.- Dessin d' un grand nombre de figures precisement terminés a la sanguine. No.2.
23.7 x 35.5 cm. Framed.
Probably a drawing for an engraving for a painting - one of a pair of works - by Johann Georg Platzer (1741-1761). Both paintings have nearly the same dimensions as the present drawing and are executed in oil on copper. They were in the Schloss Fuschel Collection in Austria and were auctioned as a rediscovery in 2000 at Sotheby's in London. The drawing after the counterpart was offered on the English art market in 2010.
