Rodolphe Piguet’s drypoint, “Seated Woman with a Bouquet on her Lap”, 1887

Rodolphe Piguet (aka Rodolphe Piquet; Rodolphe Eugène Piguet) (1840-1915)

Seated Woman with a Bouquet on her Lap” (descriptive title only), 1887, signed and dated on the plate.

Drypoint on laid paper.

Size: (sheet) 24.3 x 18 cm; (plate) 11.9 x 8.00 cm.

Inscribed on plate: (lower left) “R Piguet/ 1887”.

Condition: a richly inked and well-printed impression with wide margins. The sheet is in a near pristine condition with no tears, holes, folds, abrasions, stains, foxing or signs of handling (recto), but verso has a pencil inscription and finger marks.

I am selling this small and exceptionally beautiful drypoint by an artist known for the technical brilliance of his drypoint prints for a total cost of AU$216 (currently US$165.25/EUR140.39/GBP119.99 at the time of this listing) including Express Mail (EMS) postage and handling to anywhere in the world, but not (of course) any import duties/taxes imposed by some countries. 

If you are interested in purchasing this small masterwork of drypoint capturing in the space of a coffee bean the pensive expression of an elegant young lady as her mindset drifts upon receiving what I assume is a bouquet of flowers on her lap—note the artist’s technical wizardry in suggesting the silky sheen of the lady’s gown … and her amazing wasp waist!—please contact me (oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com) and I will send you a PayPal invoice to make the payment easy.
