Abel Jamas, “Triumph of Pan”, 1925, after Nicolas Poussin

Abel Jamas (1862– fl.c.1941)

“Triumph of Pan”, 1925, a pencil-signed artist’s proof, inscribed as the first impression (of two), after Nicolas Poussin’s (1594–1665) painting (1636) in the collection of the National Gallery in London (inv. no. NG6477; see https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/nicolas-poussin-the-triumph-of-pan).

Etching on thin laid paper with wide margins, pencil-signed with the edition number (1 of 2) and an inscribed note advising that the impression is from the 4^th (?) state, backed with a support sheet.

Size: (sheet) 53 x 50.5cm; (plate) 43 x 47.9cm; (image borderline) 34.5 x 39.8cm.

Inscribed in pencil below the image borderline: (right) “4[?] ^e Etat 1/2/ [artist’s signature] Abel Jamas”.

Condition: a strong and well-printed impression with generously wide margins laid onto a support of archival (millennium quality) washi paper. Beyond minor marks and tears in the margin, the sheet is in an excellent condition for its huge size with no significant stains.

I am selling this large and very beautiful etching after Poussin’s painting showing an unruly Bacchanalian festival with gavotting dancers, trumpets blaring, tambourines jingling and lots of nudity overseen by an armless statue of Pan, for AU$302 (currently US$196.73/ EUR185.93/ GBP154.45 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.
