Gabriel Pascal Quidor (1875–1928)
“Roger délivrant Angélique” (Roger freeing Angelique), c.1900, a proof
impression on Japanese paper with wide margins before lettering. The sheet has
the blind-stamp, of the Société Française des Amis des Arts, “ATS” (lugt 121)
at lower right. I understand that the Société Française
des Amis des Arts (c.1885–1914?) created an annual album of unpublished prints
reproducing works exhibited at the Salons for its subscribing members and the
prints in these albums are marked with the embossed stamp of the society.
This etching is after the 1819 painting by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres
(1780–1867) in the Louvre Museum (inv. 5419), which shows Princess Angelica, the daughter
of the King of Cathay, tied to a rock being rescued from the jaws of a sea
monster by the knight, Roger (aka Ruggiero), riding a hippogriff (a half eagle
and half horse creature).
Etching on Japanese paper with the blind-stamp of the Société Française des
