A draughtsman and engraver in the twilight years of the Grand Siècle, Claude Gillot's reputation is based in part on the creativity and originality of his works, prefiguring the freedom of tone and morals of the Regency era. Bawdy parodies, scenes of sorcery, harlequinade and fairground improvisations show him to be an artist of satire, comedy and the performing arts above all. His countless drawings, prized by collectors, demonstrate an intense activity in a wide variety of fields, in illustration, theatre and opera, for costume and set design.
