Dominique Collin (1725-1781) - Reception d'un sorcier (Sabba delle streghe)

Rare engraving depicting a Witch's Sabbath, taken from the French by Claude Gillot, author of several engravings connected with witchcraft and the rites associated with it. The author appears to identify with Dominique Collin, the French engraver active from 1758 in Nancy, where he became "Engraver to the King and the City." A specimen with wide margins, on heavy laid paper, in good condition, only chipped at the corners, outside the printing area. Below the image, the French title, a heraldic emblem in the center, and Collin's dedication to the painter François de Senemont: "By his Friend and very humble Servant Collin, engraver to the King and the City of Nancy." Depicted is a Witch's Sabbath, with human figures, animals and fantastic creatures linked to witchcraft, paying homage to the witch on the left.
