[Karl Clemens graf von Pellegrini.]
Ign. Duvivier pin.t. Nic Rhein inc.t.
[n.d., c.1790.]
An exceptionally large & scarce mezzotint, proof before title. 860 x 630mm (33¾ x 24¾"). Trimmed within plate at bottom, top corners chipped, repaired tears, surface cracking, laid on paper. Damaged.
A huge equestrian portrait of Karl Clemens von Pellegrini (1720-96), Austrian soldier and military engineer. He fought at Philippsburg in 1734, in the War of the Austrian Succession, Seven Years' War and the Turkish War of 1796, becoming a field marshal. When the Commander's Cross of the Order of Maria Theresa was instituted in 1765, he was one of the first nine recipients. In 1789 he won the Grand Cross of the Order and in 1792 he became a Knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece. One of the largest mezzotints we have ever seen. We have only traced one other example, also untitled.
