PAUL CÉZANNE
Les Baigneurs (grande planche).

Lithograph on cream laid paper, 1896-97. 410x503 mm; 16 1/8x19 3/4 inches, full margins. Edition of fewer than 100. Printed by Auguste Clot, Paris. Published by Vollard, Paris. From the unrealized L'Album d'Estampes Originales de la Galerie Vollard. A superb impression of this scarce lithograph.

Johnson cites other impressions printed in black (there is also an edition of 100 printed in colors), at the Brooklyn Museum of Art; the Clark Art Institute, Williamstown; and the Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven.

Based on Cézanne's ealier painting, Baigneurs au repos, 1875-76, now in the Barnes Foundation, Philadelphia.
