Jean Jacques Lagrenée

Jean Jacques Lagrenée is represented in this archive by a single sheet, a design for a military trophy drawn in pen and black ink with brush and brown wash, heightened in yellow gouache. Such preparatory drawings belong to the eighteenth-century French tradition of ornamental and military subjects, where trophies of arms and armor served as decorative motifs. The collection holds one work dated 1752, together with any impressions up to that year.
