Lully, Jean Baptiste. (1632–1687) [Edelinck, Gérard. (1641–1707)]. Original Portrait Engraving. Fine original lifetime portrait engraving of Lully, identified beneath the oval frame as "Jean Baptiste Lully / Sur-intendant de la Musique du Roy." The engraver is identified in the image as Edelinck, though the painter of the original portrait remains unknown. On laid paper, with wide margins. Plate measures 19 x 25.5 cm, with overall sheet 27 x 42 cm. One small tear expertly repaired from verso just outside of plate; dampstaining along left margin just extending into plate; edges of paper chipped, overall good and very presentable.
