Le Sommeil d’Ariane
Tool-work engraving printed in colors, 360 x 287 mm., Portalis & Beraldi 16 ii/ii.
A superb impression of this rare print, the colors fresh but subtle, on white laid paper trimmed on or along the platemark but with ample white margin outside the oval image and text; a few minor pinholes. The print was originally considered, together with the two preceding prints, part of a series of four, the fourth being a work after Boucher. The rational was clearly that of size and such subjects have long been prized as individual works. Their rarity is at least partially the result of the complexity of the technique, which had a high failure rate in the registering and printing of impressions.
