Copper Engraving by Jean-Bapti?te Liénard after a Drawing by Nicolas Pérignon.
Published 1780.
Nicolas Perignon or Pérignon, also known as Alexis-Nicolas Perignon, the Elder (1726 – 4 January 1782[4]), was a French painter, draughtsman, and engraver. He specialized in portraits, rustic scenes, landscapes, and seascapes.
Perignon was born in Nancy and died in Paris. He travelled to Italy and Switzerland, creating numerous drawings, which he later reproduced as engravings. Perignon was made a member of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in 1774 and exhibited mostly gouaches of country scenes at the Paris Salons of 1775, 1779, and 1781. According to Benezit, "his work is sought after."

- Copper Engraving of a Sapper of the Swiss Guards at the Vatican, 1779Located in Langweer, NLThis original print is Johann Georg Wille's copper engraving of a Sappeur of the Swiss Guard from 1779. Wille was a notable artist and engraver known for his portraits and engravings during the 18th century. The piece depicts a half-length portrait of a soldier in the uniform of the Swiss Guard, likely in service in Italy, perhaps even in Rome, given the connection of the Swiss Guard with the Vatican. The soldier is portrayed as a sapper or pioneer, carrying out specialized military tasks. The dimensions of the paper and the technique used (copper engraving on paper) give a sense of the physical aspects of the artwork. The condition report indicates some minor damage but an overall good state, with some restoration work done. It's fascinating how historical artworks like this engraving can provide insights into military attire, cultural connections, and artistic techniques of the time.
