ODILON REDON
Brunnhilde (Crépuscule des Dieux).

Lithograph on Chine appliqué, 1894. 390x290 mm; 15 1/4x11 1/2 inches, full margins. Artist's proof, before the legend "80 épreuves" in the lower left, and aside from the putative edition of 80. Signed in pencil, lower margin. A superb impression of this very scarce lithograph.

According to Mellerio, the intended edition was 80, yet there are few extant impressions, indicating that the full edition was never realized. Mellerio 130.
