CLAUDE GELLÉE, LE LORRAIN Le Bouvier.
Etching and drypoint, 1636. 132x200 mm; 5 1/4x7 7/8 inches, thread margins. Fourth state (a) (of 6). A brilliant, early impression of this extremely scarce etching, with all the subtle tonal nuances and details distinct and with no sign of wear, consistent with the earliest impressions of this subject.
We have found fewer than 8 other lifetime impressions like the current work at auction in the past 30 years. Mannocci 18.
