Two Soldiers, One Standing with Sword, Bow and Arrows, One Seated Seen from Behind
Etcher Matthias Pfenninger Swiss
after Philippe Jacques de Loutherbourg French
Not on view
This print comes from a set of "Eight Studies of Soldiers" (2018.54.1-.8) designed by Loutherbourg during his Paris years, 1755–71. While himself an accomplished printmaker, Loutherbourg here turned the etching over to the Zurich-born Matthias Pfenninger, then studying in Paris. The images demonstrate admiration for the Italian 17th-century printmaker, Salvator Rosa.
