Jean Louis Charbonnel (1854–1885)
“Nude Girl Crying in a Landscape” (descriptive
title only), 1873, proof impression from a suite of five etchings that I
understand (from advice from the dealer from whom I purchased this print, but I
am unable to confirm if the following information is correct) are loosely based
around the Auvergne region (central France) and were to feature as
illustrations for “Album du Journal Paris a l'Eau Forte Pour 1875”, published
by Richard Lesclide (1825–1892) and printed by Charles Delâtre
(fl.c1872–1876) (see 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.
Size: (sheet) 12.9 x 5.5 cm; (image borderline)
12.3 x 4.9 cm.
Inscribed on plate: (lower left) “J. C.”
Condition: near faultless delicate 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 laid onto a
conservator’s support sheet.
I am selling this exceptionally sensitive etching
for AU$186 in total (currently US$132.90/EUR112.85/GBP101.58 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 delicate
etching exemplifying the Romantic leanings of artists in France at the time, please
contact me (oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com) and I will send you a PayPal invoice
to make the payment easy.
