Louis Surugue
Louis Surugue was a French engraver whose reproductive prints carried the compositions of others into the hands of collectors across Europe. His burin work belongs to the tradition of eighteenth-century French line engraving, applied here to intimate domestic and mythological scenes with female figures at their centre. The archive holds two of his engravings, both executed in engraving, with impressions dating from 1716 to 1742. Subjects range from a woman at the bath, attended by a companion and an old woman holding her clothes, to Venus nursing three Cupids in a landscape.
