AUGUSTE RODIN Le Printemps.
Drypoint on cream wove China paper, 1882-88. 143x97 mm; 5 3/4x3 3/4 inches, full margins. Artist's proof, aside from the published editions (in Marx, Les Pointes Sèches de Rodin, on laid paper). Signed in pencil, lower right. A superb, early, richly-inked impression with crisp inky plate edges.
We have few other impressions of this subject printed as proofs on wove paper and pencil-signed by the artist, aside from the published editions, at auction in the past 30 years. Delteil 4; Thorson 4.
