Jean-Baptiste Perronneau
Jean-Baptiste Perronneau is represented here by a single etching, a medium in which he worked alongside his better-known activity as a portraitist. The sheet titled Chinese Magician belongs to a period around 1738, the date the Met assigns to this material; later printings, where they exist, would fall under impressions up to that same year. The archive therefore holds one work in etching from the late 1730s, offering a narrow but focused glimpse of Perronneau's graphic output rather than a broad survey of his career.
