EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching on laid paper, titled "Pierre Mignard, 1744," is a stunning portrait of the renowned French painter Pierre Mignard, also known as Pierre Mignard le Romain or Pierre Mignard I. The portrait was created by the German artist Georg Friedrich Schmidt in the 18th century during the Rococo era. Mignard is depicted as a distinguished gentleman, seated and dressed in the fashion of the time with a voluminous white shirt, a black waistcoat, and a powdered wig. The artist, Hyacinthe Rigaud, is known to have painted the original oil portrait of Mignard in 1716, which is now housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris. Schmidt's etching is an impressive example of the artist's skill in capturing the essence of his subject through the medium of engraving. The intricate details of Mignard's clothing, the folds of his wig, and the subtle textures of his skin are all rendered with remarkable precision and finesse. The portrait is a testament to the artist's mastery of the etching technique and his ability to convey the personality and character of his subject. This etching is an important addition to any art collection or gallery, providing a glimpse into the world of 18th-century art and fashion. The monochrome composition, with its bold lines and contrasting shades of white and black, adds to the timeless beauty and elegance of the image. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this rare and beautiful work in its permanent collection, where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
