Mars and the Graces
Etching and burin. Ca. 1760.
Reference: De Vesme 8 II (of III). Rizzi 229. Succi 7 II (of III).
Watermark: Arm with sword (?) and W with open crown and three half moons.
Dimensions: 55.6 x 40.1 cm (subject), 61.8 x 45.5 cm (sheet).
A very fine impression, rich in tonal values, in the second of three states, after the addition of “39” in the upper left,
but before the name of Giambattista and of the engraver Lorenzo.
With wide margins beyond the plate mark, which shows traces of the inking, characteristic of early impressions.
