Le Sourire.

Two woodcuts printed on a single sheet of Japan paper, 1899. Both 103x182 mm; 4 1/8x7 1/4 inches, full margins. Ex-collection Henri M. Petiet, Paris, with the ink stamp (Lugt 5031, verso). A very good impression.

According to Kornfeld, there was an edition of only a few impressions, printed before 1918 by Pierre Gusman for E. Druet, where these two images were not separated. Kornfeld 58 and 69.
