Jean-Baptiste Pater (1695–1736) (after) Infantry Soldiers’ Camp. Circa 1730. Engraved by Scotin. 500 x 380 [518 x 392 mm]. Portalis and Beraldi, vol. III, p. 536. A very fine print on laid paper, in pure etching, with the engraver’s name incised. Vertical center drying crease. A long, fine oblique printing crease across the tablet in the center. Another soft horizontal crease across the upper left portion of the subject. Minor soiling on the reverse. Good margins. AABM stamp (Lugt 3075). "Two beautiful prints after Pater: a 'Galant Gathering in a Park' and a 'Camp of Infantry Soldiers.' These two pieces, folio-sized in width, were never completed. They are extremely rare."
