TROOST, Cornelis.
Pierre Fouquet.
[Troost] Scenes tirees de la vie domestique des Hollandais au dix-huitieme siecle.
A collection of 32 coloured engravings after Troost's original paintings and drawings of social and domestic life, made between 1725-1750. Beautifully coloured (later) by a single hand, and heightened in gold in part. All engravings are first impressions, and thus their quality is valued much more than later editions.

Large folio (63.5 x 50.5 cm). Rebound in half burgundy coloured leather with raised bands and marbled boards. Gilt lettered to the second compartment (of six). A set of 32 engravings and the publisher's accompanying list of plates, all tipped in on heavy paper. The measurements of the engravings vary as issued. All plates are browned. A rare collection of hand-coloured engravings after paintings by the Dutch painter Cornelis Troost (1697-1750). Troost was a portrait and genre painter from Amsterdam, who painted in the 18th century rococo style. The set consists of the publisher's list of plates & 32 engravings, 1 self-portrait, and 31 genre scenes. All scenes are captioned at the base of the engraving with a title and dedication/verse in both Dutch and French. This collection is famous for its genre scenes which depict daily life of the Dutch bourgeoise in a domestic and intimate atmosphere. The scenes show the preference of rococo artists to paint entertaining scenes with a glimpse of naughtiness. Many of the plates are engraved by J. Houbraken, P. Tanje, A. Delfos, R. Muys, R. Pelletier, J. Punt & A. Radigues. Coloured plates in order: 1. Portrait of Cornelis Troost. 2. Les Noces de Cloris et Rosette. 3. Chambre d'Acouchee Hollandoise. 4. Le Vieleux. 5.
