Alexander 1st, Tsar In Paris. Reference Engraving. 1816

A watercolor engraving, but we could also say: a watercolor on engraving lines, so superb is the quality of the painting. The portrait would be by Horace Vernet, (signed: V...del), and the engraver is Charles François Gabriel Levachez. The arrival of the handsome Blue Tsar in Paris, 1815, was an extraordinary media event, and a great support for the restoration ofKings. Boilly painted: the triumph of Alexander.
Our precious, large engraving has its place in most museums but is only found in small quantities now.
Glued assembly in original bowl, large antique sculpted-gilt recut wooden framing, medium condition, no glass. Condition of discovery, frame to be taken back, small stains, slight yellowing.
Frame: 69cm x 55cm, engraving: 48cm x 36.5cm.
