Jean Baptiste Huet, two panels of dog studies, 1995/96

Jean Baptiste Huet (1745–1811)

(Upper image) “Two Head Studies of Dogs Facing Left” and (lower image) “Two Head Studies of Dogs Facing Right” (descriptive titles only), 1795/96. Both panels are sections cut from the larger plate, plate 3, from the series of thirty-eight plates, “Oeuvres de J. B. Huet” (aka “Cahiers d'Études”), published in the first volume. See descriptions of both panels offered by the British Museum: https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/P_1860-0211-222 and https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/P_1860-0211-221.

Etchings on laid paper trimmed with margins around the image borderline and backed on the same support sheet.

Size: (sheets) 8.7 x 15.7 cm; (image borderlines) 7.6 x 14.6 cm

Inscribed in plate at upper left in the upper image and upper right in the lower image (with minor differences): “J. B. hüet l'an 4”.

Condition: both panels are strong impressions but the upper panel has flattened printer’s creases and chipping along the lower edge. Both panels are laid onto the same sheet of archival (millennium quality) washi paper providing wide margins.

I am selling this pair of etchings extracted from a larger composite image by a previous collector for the total cost of AU$220 (currently US$146.95/EUR133.41/GBP112.69 at the time of posting 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. Note that payment is in Australian dollars (AU$220) as this is my currency.
