Cavaliers in a City Square
Jean de Saint-Igny French
Not on view
Elegantly dressed aristocratic figures converse in small groups in a city square. Saint-Igny’s skill is on display, both in his detailed treatment of the figures’ flamboyant attire and coiffures, and in his precise rendering of the architectural setting. Not only a painter and draftsman, Saint-Igny was also a printmaker—technical background that is evident here in his tightly controlled and highly varied use of line.
