Vignette from the Galerie des Glaces, Versailles

Bernard Picart French
 After Charles Le Brun French

Not on view

Bernard Picart was a successful engraver active in France and the Netherlands. This drawing belongs to a group of studies he made after works by Charles Le Brun, the leading painter and coordinator of royal projects under Louis XIV. Rather than transcribe an entire composition, he used each sheet to study a vignette of a few figures.
