Condition: both etchings are near faultless impressions in near pristine condition apart from slight age-related darkening towards the edges of the margin in “le Dejeuner” and there are minor printer’s creases in “Eude de Nu.”

I am selling this pair of female nude studies by one of the remarkably rare well-documented Parisienne female printmakers during the Belle Époque for [deleted] including postage and handling to anywhere in the world (but not, of course, any import duties/taxes imposed by some countries).

If you are interested in purchasing these very beautiful nudes that hint at Delasalle’s reverence for Rembrandt, please contact me (oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com) and I will send you a PayPal invoice to make the payment easy.
