Lot Essay

The draftsman, painter and engraver Jean-Baptiste-Louis Cazin received his artistic training under Nicolas-René Jollain and exhibited works at the Paris Salons from 1791 to 1810. Primarily known for his views of Paris, this painting reveals that he was equally adept at painting fanciful scenes of figures enjoying themselves in lush outdoor settings.
