VERNET, Carle (1758-1836)
Sujets et Composition de Chasse. [Paris: Déposé à la Bibliothèque, c. 1820].
Clean copy of a suite of prints by famed French artist Carle Vernet. Third son of the artist Joseph Vernet, Carle was born in 1758 in Bordeaux, where his father was at work on his masterpiece series of the Ports de France which had been commissioned by the marquis de Marigny for Louis XV. A precocious pupil, Carle was taught to paint by his father, but at the age of 11 entered the atelier of Nicolas-Bernard Lépicié (see the Portrait of Carle Vernet by Lépicié in the Louvre). By the age of 15, Carle had become passionate about horses and riding, and regularly attended hunts: later on in life he frequently joined in the duc d'Orléans' hunting parties. The present lot depicts the various stages of a deer hunt, with the animals of the hunt, the horses, dogs and the deer, portrayed with emotive expressions, although not all show the same enthusiasm as the huntsmen. Bobins II, 556.
Oblong folio (299 x 426mm). 24 hand-coloured lithographic plates, original blue wrappers bound in, title in manuscript (title page expertly re-margined with matching paper, pencil annotation to title page). Contemporary green half morocco over marbled paper boards, gilt lettering and decoration to spine and covers (extremities faintly rubbed).
