Quérard, II, 92 ; Cioranescu, 16290.
First edition.
The first monograph devoted to the sculptor Edmé Bouchardon (1698-1762), champion of the classical style inspired by antiquity, but also an excellent realist draughtsman (Les Cris de Paris).
He was a friend and protégé of the Comte de Caylus, a famous antiquarian, writer and art lover who also practised engraving, and interpreted Bouchardon's drawings. The intimacy that existed between Caylus and Bouchardon makes this well-written little book, with its sometimes touching accents, a model of artistic biography.
A very good copy.
