Product description
Offered for sale:
A beautiful, authentic 19th-century engraving titled "Dans la prairie" (In the Meadow), based on the famous naturalist masterpiece by the French painter Julien Dupré (1851–1910).
This specific piece is an original artist's print, expertly cut into the plate by the renowned French engraver Albert-Georges Bessé (1871–1958).
Unique features:
Hand-signed: In the lower right margin, the print is authentically signed by hand in pencil by the engraver (A. Bessé). This indicates a limited art edition.
Name in the plate: Features the original inscription “JULIEN DUPRE” in the lower right of the image and “A. Besse sc.” in the upper right.
Technique: Superb, delicate hatching with deep contrasts characteristic of the high-quality etching and drypoint techniques of this period. Condition: In good, authentic condition commensurate with its age (late 19th century). The paper shows light, characteristic signs of age (foxing) in the margins, which underscores the historical charm and authenticity of the graphic work.
Shipping: The work will be packed with extreme care, flat and securely between thick layers of cardboard to completely rule out creases or damage during transport.
