Lot description
Etching, 10,7 x 17,3 cm, laid paper, signed in plate at lower right corner "Claud. Gille.1634" (laid down on thick paper, trimmed just outside platemark).
Good dark impression of one of the few night scenes of Le Lorrain. He was probably inspired by etchings of Willem Basse (1623-1672) and Hendrick Goudt (1580-1648).
Ref. Dumesnil 21.
