Catalogue Note
Rigaud est très connu par ses séries de gravures, d’après ses propres dessins, représentant Les Maisons Royales de France, un projet qu’il entreprit en 1730, et qui fut complété par son neveu, Jean-Baptiste. Une série de dessins spectaculaires représentant Marly, en relation avec ce projet, furent inclus dans la vente de la collection Beistegui, au Château de Groussay (Sotheby's-Poulain Le Fur, 2 June 1999, lots n°58-62). La gravure d’après notre dessin montre quelques petites différences au niveau des personnages, mais reste néanmoins très fidèle au dessin.
Rigaud is best known for his series of prints, after his own drawings, representing Les Maisons Royales de France, a project which he undertook in 1730, and which was eventually completed by his nephew, Jean-Baptiste. A series of spectacular drawings of Marly, relating to this project, were included in the sale of the de Beistegui Collection, at the Château de Groussay (Sotheby's-Poulain Le Fur, 2 June 1999, lots 58-62). The print after the present drawing shows some small differences in details of the staffage, but otherwise follows the drawing faithfully.
