Armand SEGUIN: Small landscape - 1893

SOLD

Etching, 77 x 107 mm. Field 28. Lifetime impression.

Very fine impression printed in black/bistre with plate tone on Arches laid paper.

A slight waterstain in the right margin and some slight soiling in the margins. Full untrimmed margins (sheet: 225 x 324 mm).

Provenance: Clovis Sagot (1854-1913).

Engravings by Armand Seguin were printed in a very small run: between 2 and 25 proofs (Catalogue Armand Seguin - Exposition d’œuvres nouvelles, February-March 1895).

Some of the plates were reprinted in a run of 35 numbered proofs on Arches wove paper by Stéphane Malingue around 1960.

The proof we are offering is part of a small number of prints made in the artist's lifetime; these are very rare on the market.

Clovis Sagot, like his brother Edmond Sagot, was an art dealer.

In Gauguin & l’École de Pont-Aven, Marianne Grivel draws attention to the trees in the Petit Paysage: the trees “become more stylised, mere shapes”, in an attempt, according to her, to “offer a synthesis of nature”.
