EUGÈNE DELACROIX
Le Caïd Mohammed-Ben-Abou (Chef Maure à Meknez).

Etching on cream laid paper, 1833. 145x215 mm; 5 3/4x8 1/2 inches, full margins. Second state (of 2). Ex-collection Fréderic Masson (Lugt 1031 and 1032, on the original mat). A superb impression of this very scarce etching, with strong contrasts and no sign of wear.

We have found only 4 other impressions at auction in the past 25 years. Delteil 22.
