JAMES JACQUES TISSOT
La Dormeuse.

Drypoint on antique, cream laid paper, 1876. 108x194 mm; 4 1/4x7 5/8 inches, full margins. An intended edition of approximately 100. A superb, richly-inked and velvety impression of this very scarce print.

Though Wentworth cites an intended edition of 100, in all likelihood the actual number of impressions is much fewer.

We have found only 5 other impressions at auction in the past 30 years. Wentworth 17.
