MANUEL ROBBE Le Printemps de Rodin.
Color aquatint and etching, circa 1900. 415x246 mm; 16 1/2x9 3/4 inches, full margins. Signed and numbered 20/35 in pencil, lower margin. A very good, richly-inked impression of this scarce print.
The marble sculpture on the table top is a version of Rodin's (1840-1917) L'Éternel Printemps, circa 1884, which he had originally designed to be a part of his iconic The Gates of Hell monumental bronze sculptural group. Rodin made several different versions of L'Éternel Printemps in marble and bronze during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Robbe (1872-1936) paid homage to Rodin in this print and also his Le Dernier Roman (Devant "Le Baiser" de Rodin), color aquatint, circa 1907.
With—Le Cabinet de Toilette, color aquatint, circa 1900. Signed and inscribed "specimen pour le timbrage" in pencil, lower margin * La Niege, color aquatint, circa 1900. Signed and inscribed "No. 78" in pencil, lower margin. Various sizes and conditions.
