Etienne BAUDET (Blois 1638 - Paris 1711) "une femme recueillant les cendres de Pochion" Original etching from a subject by Nicolas Poussin (1594 - 1665) drawn by Pierre Monier (1641 - 1703), part of a series of four engraved in 1684. Beautiful copy in the third state of four, according to Weigert, which can be traced back to after 1694, the year in which Baudet was assigned accommodation in the Galeries du Louvre which appears from his address, before the appearance of Chereau's name as a printer , printed on laid paper without watermark, with good margins beyond the imprint of the sheet, various areas of small foxing points and moisture spots on the edges and the trace of a central vertical fold, overall in excellent general condition. Dry stamp of the "Calcographie du Louvre Musées Nationaux" corresponding to Jult 1695. The original painting by Poussin, an oil on canvas of 116x178cm dating from around 1648, is now preserved in the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool. Bibliography: Andresen “Nicolaus Poussin” Leipzig 1863 pag.114 n ° 447. Jamot "Poussin's two pictures of the Story of Phocion" Burlington Magazine vol.XL 1922 pages 156-158. LeBlanc "Manuel ..."
