Description & Technical information
Relatively few drawings by Joseph-François Parrocel are known outside of a large group of some fifty sheets in the Louvre. His drawings, most of which are signed, can be divided into two main groups; works executed in black and red chalk, and those in brown ink and grey or brown wash.
Among stylistically comparable drawings by the artist is a study of Venus and Aeneas in the Petithory collection at the Musée Bonnat-Helleu in Bayonne and a drawing of Saint John the Baptist Preaching, on the London art market in 1977.
