Rodolphe Piguet (aka Rodolphe Piquet) (1840-1915)
“A Woman with a Child Carrying
a Large Parcel on a Wet Street” (descriptive title only), c1885, signed on the
plate by the artist.
Drypoint on cream laid paper trimmed
along the platemark and backed with a support sheet.
Size: (sheet) 10.2 x 12.8 cm.
Inscribed on plate: (lower right
of centre) “R Piguet”.
Condition: a richly inked and
well-printed impression, trimmed along the platemark and laid onto a support of
fibred washi paper laid onto an additional sheet of archival (millennium
quality) washi paper. The sheet is in a good condition with no tears, holes,
folds, abrasions, significant stains or foxing, but there is a slight dustiness
to the surface.
I am selling this small but exceptionally
beautiful drypoint by an artist known for the technical brilliance of his
drypoint prints for a total cost of AU$198 (currently US$153.38/EUR127.19/GBP109.84
at the time of this listing) including Express Mail (EMS) 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 this tiny drypoint masterwork capturing not only the icy chill of
being out on the street in inclement weather, but also the awkwardness of the
young girl shown in the foreground as she “battles” with a large parcel that partly
obscures her view and the height of Belle Époque fashion shown by the grand hat
and fur worn by her very attractive mother, please contact me
(oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com) and I will send you a PayPal invoice to make
the payment easy.
