Engraving Study of a seated woman holding a child - Michelangelo

Modern print printed from the original plate of the Chalcographie du Louvre on Japanese paper.

Alphonse Alexandre Leroy, etcher and chisel engraver, was particularly keen to reproduce in facsimile the drawings from the Louvre collection and private collections, published by him in albums between 1860 and 1880. The Chalcographie of the Louvre has a large number of its plates and thus responds to its vocation to offer a wide public the privilege of one day owning a quality replica of drawings chosen among the greatest artists of all time, let us only mention: Raphael, Correggio, Veronese, Titian... For collectors and drawing students.

Print on applied Japanese paper:
Made in Asia, this paper provides exceptional line accuracy and reveals the engraver's prowess. Its extreme lightness requires that it be glued on another sheet of paper. This operation, which must be carried out at the time of printing, requires a high level of technical expertise.
