Buffon after Albinus

1658657082
Part of collection

“Le Rhinoceros. Tom. XI. Pl. VIII”
This image from a 1749 edition of the Comte de Buffon’s ‘Histoire Naturelle et Particulaire’ is interesting in that the back view of Clara from the Wandelaar/ Albinus print was used instead of the more common image drawn by Oudry in 1749. The Albinus prints were in general circulation by 1747 and possibly chosen before Oudry.

Jan wandelaar (1690-1759), Dutch artist working in Leiden
