$850.00
Sold Out

Stunning pair of 17th century engravings from J. Mariette’s series of 25 costume prints published between 1696-1708. Both prints feature a gentleman and a lady beautifully dressed in quintessential dress from the time. Each print has a handwritten date 1696-1697 in pencil, likely from the original printing.

-“Dame de Qualité en Echarpe” Mariette- Lady of Quality in a Scarf (1696-1697)

-“Homme de Qualité en habit d’hiuer” Mariette - Man of Quality in winter clothes (circa 1696-1697).

Condition: Good, minor age spots and wear.

Of Note—Originally from the gallery of Gilberte Cournand, the famed art dealer, French journalist, and dance critic who received the National Order of the Legion of Honor in 1999. Upon her death in 2005, her extraordinary collection of antiques were either put up for auction or donated to Centre national de la danse (National Dance Center). While only one print bears her sticker, they are both likely from her collection given their identical frames.
