PAUL CÉZANNE Les Baigneurs (grande planche).
Color lithograph on cream laid paper, circa 1896-98. 425x525 mm; 16 3/4x20 3/4 inches, full margins. Druick's third state (of 3). Edition of approximately 100. Printed by Auguste Clot, Paris. Published by Vollard, Paris. A superb, richly-inked impression of this large, important lithograph, with strong colors, and with particularly rich blue color throughout.
Cézanne based this iconic color lithograph on his earlier painting, Baigneurs au repos, 1875-76, now in the Barnes Foundation, Philadelphia. There is also a watercolor and gouache maquette for the color lithograph at the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa. Cherpin 7; Druick I.
