HENRI MATISSE Nu au Collier.
Etching printed in black on grayish Chine collé, 1926. 116x163 mm; 4 1/2x6 3/8 inches, full margins. Artist's proof, aside from the edition of 25. Extensively annotated with printing notes in pencil, lower margin. A very good impression of this scarce proof.
The notes in the lower margin read: "Les épreuves téchent lentement . . . Attention de ne pas le brouiller . . . trop de pression le papier s'arrache dans la monture (The proofs are slowly slipping . . . Be careful not to jam them . . . too much pressure from the paper is tearing in the mount)." Duthuit 90.
