AFTER JACQUES CALLOT (1592–1635), NETHERLANDISH, CIRCA 1620-30
LOUIS OF LORRAINE, PRINCE OF PHALSBOURG
Gilt-copper plaquette
7 ¼ in. (18.5 cm.) high

Acquired from Honourable Silver Objects, Antwerp, 2009.

Specialist note

The inspiration for this plaquette was Jacques Callot's etching of Louis de Lorraine, who was an important figure in the court of Lorraine at Nancy. It is probable that the plaquette scene is in reverse because its maker was working in repoussé copying directly from Callot's etching.
