These two 18th century prints depict idealized, classical representations of Egyptian royalty, specifically a Ptolemaic Greek-Egyptian ruler named Ptolemée and a traditional Egyptian pharaoh named Faraon, rendered in the grand, theatrical style typical of early 18th century French court art after Jean Mariette. The monochrome intaglio printmaking paper artworks are set within carved ornate giltwood frames with warm gold leaf finishes, visible mouldings, and French inscriptions below the classical figures. Each piece measures 53 cm high, 32 cm wide, and 5 cm deep. They find their ideal placement in a home today mounted on a wall above a sideboard in a living room, dining room, or hallway to add a touch of French chateau style to the interior.

FAQs

Baroque engravings from France were fine art copperplate prints produced during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, frequently depicting classical, biblical, or royal figures for art collectors.

Artists incised detailed compositions directly into copper plates before applying ink and printing onto laid rag paper, after which prints were mounted behind glass in gilded wooden frames.

Authentic prints feature a visible indented plate mark around the image perimeter, hand-laid paper with chain lines, and characteristic ink depth created by the intaglio process.

Hang the prints symmetrically above a sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table to establish structure, using the gold leaf detailing to bring warm reflections to dark or neutral walls.

Display works on paper away from damp areas and direct sun to prevent discolouration, and clean the carved gilt frames using only a dry, soft-bristled brush.
