DescriptionVery fine impression, printed like a chiaroscuro with a tan tone stone and the white taken out, on textured wove paper with large margins and bearing the blind stamp of the artist. This is apparently one of the four small lithographs published by Engelmann in 1818 mentioned by Beraldi in his listing, but not specified as to title or subjects.Exhibition History"The Stone Palette - Lithographs in 19th-Century France", Hoopes Gallery,The Hyde Collection, January 10, 2015 - March 15, 2015Provenanceby 2013, New York, NY, C. & J.
