Despite these signs of wear, the image of Clorinde remains clear and captivating.Historical BackgroundThis print, titled "Clorinde, Sergent d'Armes Louis XV", is part of a series showcasing historical military and court figures. "Numa pinx" indicates that the artist, Numa, was the original painter ("pinx" is an abbreviation for the Latin pinxit, meaning "painted it"). The print was published in Paris by H. Gache, an editor and publisher located on Rue de la Victoire, a known center for artistic production in the 19th century. The lithography work, a printing process using a stone or metal plate, was done by Régnier et Bettarmier, a notable lithography firm of the period.The figure of Clorinde, identified as a "Sergeant-at-Arms" under Louis XV, suggests this piece is likely a romanticized or theatrical representation of a historical figure, reflecting the popular fascination with French royalty and military history in the 19th century. This print would have been a prized decorative piece for those who appreciated French culture and historical themes.Measurements
