Les Soirees de Rome: Le Poteau, 1763-1764. Creator: Hubert Robert (French, 1733-1808)
Les Soirees de Rome: Le Poteau, 1763-1764. Derived from his own pen-and-ink drawings, this suite of etchings features fictional characters situated near recognizable buildings and statues in Rome. On the title page, Robert dedicated the suite to Marguerite Le Compte, who visited Rome in 1764 in the company of the wealthy author and art enthusiast Claude Henri Watelet. Both Le Compte and Watelet were amateur etchers, and they socialized with a group that included artists and printmakers centered at the academies in Italy. Roberts dedication was likely motivated by the hope of future patronage from Le Compte. She may be the generous woman with a hand muff depicted in The Ancient Temple, the fifth scene in this series

Derived from his own pen-and-ink drawings, these prints feature fictional characters placed in proximity to iconic buildings and statues in Rome. The dedication on the title page reveals that Robert dedicated this suite of etchings to Marguerite Le Compte, who visited Rome in 1764 alongside Claude Henri Watelet, a wealthy author and art enthusiast. Both Le Compte and Watelet were amateur etchers themselves, fostering connections with artists and printmakers within Italy's academies.
