Jean Louis Charbonnel (1854–1885)
“La Baigneuse”, 1873, published by Richard
Lesclide (1825–1892) in “Album du Journal Paris a l'Eau Forte Pour 1875, Vingt
Eaux-Fortes Originales Tirées a 100 Exemplaires, Numerotées et Signées” (“Album
of the Journal Paris with Eau Forte of 1875, Twenty Original Etchings in 100
Copies, Numbered and Signed”), printed by Charles Delâtre (fl.c.1872–1876),
p. 265. The Metropolitan Museum of Art offers a detailed description of this
publication: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/334979
Etching on fine wove paper (China) trimmed
close to the image borderline and backed with a support sheet published in an
edition of 100 impressions.
Size: (sheet) 13.3 x 9.2 cm; (image
borderline) 12.9 x 8.8 cm.
Inscribed on plate: (upper left) L. C[o?]harbonnel
pinxt […] 1873”
Condition: richly inked, crisp, near
faultless impression trimmed with a narrow margin around the image borderline.
The sheet is in pristine condition (i.e. there are no tears, holes, folds,
abrasions, stains, foxing or blemishes), but, as the sheet is tissue thin, it has
been backed onto a conservator’s support sheet.
I am selling this exceptionally sensitive
etching for AU$150 in total (currently US$106.47/EUR94.51/GBP80.69 at the time
of this listing) 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 acquiring this very
luminous etching exemplifying the Romantic leanings and interest of the period in
the pleasures of the Orient—especially the “opulent eroticism of harem” as the
MET describes this fascination—please contact me (oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com)
and I will send you a PayPal invoice to make the payment easy.
