"Jean de France" 1823 - 1831

"Jean de France" is an engraving by Danish artist J.F. Clemens, created between 1823 and 1831. The artwork, now housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a scene from a play with four figures in a room. A man, presumably Jean de France, dances with his hand outstretched, while a woman in a seated position and a man in a hat observe. Another figure is partially seen in the doorway, adding an element of intrigue. Clemens, known for his engravings, captures the drama and emotion of the play through the details of the figures' postures and expressions. The engraved lines add a sense of depth and texture to the scene. "Jean de France" stands as a testament to the artist's skill in representing theatrical moments through the medium of printmaking.
