Title:	Figure Study #3
Artist:	Parizeau, Philippe Louis (Paris, 1740 - 1801)
Date:	1768
Medium:	Original Etching
Publisher:	Niquet, Place Maubert, Paris
Note:	Philippe Louis Parizeau: An eighteenth century designer and etcher, P. L. Parizeau studied engraving and etching techniques in Paris, under Johann Georg Wille (1715-1808). He first entered Wille's studio in 1766 and quickly became this master engraver's select pupil. In fact, for much of Philippe Louis Parizeau's career he worked in collaboration with Wille, who held the prestigious title of 'Engraver to the King of France'.
	During his career Philippe Louis Parizeau produced both plates after his own designs and engravings based upon the designs of Rosa, Deshayes, Boucher, Le Prince, Greuze and other notable artists. Those etchings and engravings constructed completely from his own hand (such as this original example) are mostly fine eighteenth century images of figure studies, and mythological and religious depictions.
	Figure Study #3 was created by the artist in 1768 for a portfolio of twenty-five plates of costumed figures. Entitled, Recueil de figures et de groupes a l'eau-forte par Ph. L. Parizeau, the set was published in Paris by Niquet. Each etching is indicative of Philippe Parizeau's ability to gracefully capture the elements of form and design. This original etching is the third plate in the series. It depicts two male figure studies wearing long garments, possibly togas or palliums, similar to those worn by men in ancient Rome.
