entourage of Charles MELLIN – The Coronation of the Virgin, ca 1630

Robert-Dumesnil nr 1 (II/IV). Malgouyres, exhib. “Mellin” nr 18a (II/V). Very good impression of 2d state (of 5), before all letter. Some tiny thin paper areas at foot; two or three tiny marginal tears and slight horizontal median crease. Small margins on three sides. Our impression, on an italian paper, is rare. None impression of first state is located. Considéré comme la seule gravure de Charles Mellin, Thuillier then Malgouyres reject this attribution seeing it as the work of a professional engraver.
