Portretten van vier Franse schrijvers 1823

Auguste Toussaint Lecler’s 1823 lithograph "Portretten van vier Franse schrijvers" depicts four prominent French writers: Sacy, Raynouard, A. Duval, and Lenormand. Lecler, a French artist who lived from 1788 to 1860, is known for his portraiture and use of the lithographic printing technique. This print, measuring 448mm by 304mm, showcases Lecler's skilled depiction of the writers' distinct features and attire, offering a glimpse into the sartorial styles of the early 19th century. The work exemplifies the burgeoning popularity of lithography as a medium for portraiture and historical documentation.
