EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artistic talents of Pierre-Imbert Drevet, a renowned French engraver from the 18th century. The subject of this remarkable piece is none other than Bishop Jacques-Benigne Bossuet, a prominent figure in French history.

The bishop's wise and contemplative expression is beautifully captured on the laid paper, measuring an impressive 508 mm x 346 mm (20 in. x 13.62 in. ). This particular print represents the ninth state out of fifteen, showcasing its historical significance and rarity. The artwork exudes a sense of elegance and sophistication that reflects both the talent of Drevet as well as the timeless beauty inherent in classical portraiture.
