The story

Gautier d'Agoty is known for his colour prints; these are paintings, oil on two tall panels of 1764 and 1765. On the left a standing figure looks aside with one hand on a ledge, his chest opened to the heart, and two separate studies of the heart below. On the right a flayed man is seen from behind, his left arm lifted to his temple. The colours are the ones his mezzotints were famous for, coral, ochre and bone, laid on with a brush.

Why our plates cost more than a poster: a poster is a mass run on wood-pulp stock, colour-corrected to whatever flattered the press that day. This is one sheet, pulled for you, at a size where the engraver’s hand is visible — the linework, the tonal work, the lettering — on a matte sheet that shows every line without glare.
