A Gathering of Artists
This print in outline technique, and the related stipple engraving which accompanied it, both reflect the popularity of Boilly’s painting, A Reunion of Artists in Isabey’s Studio, (1798, Musée du Louvre, Paris). Likely intended to be sold with the stipple engraving, this work would have helped collectors identify the 29 artists depicted. Also in the Museum's collection are two preparatory drawings for the painting (2009.477 and 2010.449).
