專家說明

The print belongs to a small series of six prints of scenes from the Trojan War. Two closely related drawings of this subject by Luca Penni are at the Louvre, Paris (inv. 1397 & 1398).
The print shows some offsetting of two letterpress pages in brown ink on the reverse, which may provide evidence that books were also printed and published at Fontainebleau. Unfortunately, we have so far been unable to identify the specific, rather anachronistic publication printed in Gothic type.
We are grateful to Catherine Jenkins, London, for her help in cataloguing this lot.
