Lot 1466: A SENEGAT (1715) Both in fine condition in modern

A SENEGAT (1715) Both in fine condition in modern frames A SPECTACLE IN TARTARY; TARTAR CRUELTY two, both signed, one dated, pen, bistre ink and sepia wash on laid paper, 40.5 x 55.5cm and 40.5 x 54.5cm (2)" Senegat seems only to have been noticed by both Benezit and Thieme-Becker on account of the survival of eleven 'Scenes from the Life of Joseph' in the Kunsthaus, Zurich. These too are executed in predominantly sepia and are also dated 1715 or 1716. Apart from the existence of these, and his presumed French origin, it is somewhat surprising that little else is recorded of the artist. This may be explained in part by the view that they, and these present drawings, may have been intended for engraving."
