Description

Pen and grey ink and watercolour heightened with bodycolour on laid paper.
This originates from an album mainly of French views drawn between 1765 and 1768. Grimm was born in Bergdorf, Switzerland and moved to Paris in 1765 before relocating to London in 1768 where he lived for the rest of his life. He specialised in topographical landscapes and exhibited at the Royal Academy and elsewhere. Montmorency is a village ten miles to the north of Paris and was originally the fiefdom of the Montmorency family, one of the oldest in the French nobility.
