EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Study Thirteen Heads" an exquisite etching and drypoint artwork created by Jean Jacques de Boissieu in 1770. The second state of this piece, beautifully captured by Artokoloro, reveals the artist's meticulous attention to detail and mastery of technique. Measuring 9 7/16 x 7 3/16 inches (24 x 18.3 cm), this print allows us to appreciate the intricate nature of Boissieu's graphic oeuvre. Known for his ability to sketch directly on prepared copper plates using an etching needle, he was able to draw independent sketches with remarkable precision. Influenced by Rembrandt and other eighteenth-century emulators, Boissieu used this medium as a vehicle for showcasing his virtuosity. His hands skillfully translated his initial forays into art onto the plate, resulting in a format that was originally intended as part of the learning process for aspiring artists. Boasting thirteen meticulously rendered heads, this study exemplifies Boissieu's dedication to capturing human expression and form. Each head tells its own story through subtle variations in features and expressions, providing viewers with a glimpse into the artist's keen observation skills. This print is not only a testament to Boissieu's talent but also serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy he left behind in French art history. It offers art enthusiasts an opportunity to delve into the world of one of Lyons' most celebrated artists from the eighteenth
