ARISTIDE MAILLOL
La Vieille a la Jarre.

Woodcut on cream laid Japan paper, 1892. 189x156 mm; 7 1/2x6 1/8 inches, wide (full ?) margins. Guérin lists only a few known proofs. Signed with the artist's monogram in pencil, lower left. Published by Henri M. Petiet, Paris, with the ink stamp (see Lught 2012a, verso). A very good impression of this extremely scarce, early woodcut.

The artist's first print, which he made as an aspiring artist, under Gauguin's influence.

We have found only 4 other impressions at auction in the past 30 years. Guérin 1.
