Six original engravings of the French army by Nicolas Hoffmann, late 18th century
HOFFMANN Nicolas (Darmstadt 1740-1732). Reunion of 6 original engravings depicting members of the French army of the late 18th century. Watercolor and gouache.
Draughtsman, engraver and miniaturist Nicolas Hoffmann was sent to Paris by the Principality of Hesse-Darmstadt between 1775 and 1808. His mission was to produce drawings and engravings detailing French military uniforms. These gouaches, executed between 1804 and 1805 as part of the series Les uniformes du Sacre et du Couronnement, were a major success.
Great attention to detail in the uniforms, quality framing under gilded baguette glass.
