The Marquis de Vandières, Abbé Jean-Bernard Le Blanc, Germain Soufflot, and Charles-Nicolas Cochin, the Younger 1745 - 1755

"The Marquis de Vandières, Abbé Jean-Bernard Le Blanc, Germain Soufflot, and Charles-Nicolas Cochin, the Younger," is a pen and brown ink drawing on paper by Pier Leone Ghezzi created between 1745 and 1755. This work depicts four prominent figures of 18th century France in a casual setting. The drawing is noted for its attention to detail and Ghezzi’s unique style, which captured the likenesses of his subjects with a combination of realism and caricature. The work is now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY.
