Paul Gauguin "La femme aux figues" original etching | Woman with Figs
Medium: original aquatint and soft-ground etching. Executed in 1894; a small edition was printed for the Germinal portfolio before the plate was canceled. This is a posthumous impression on Canson & Montgolfier laid paper with the Ingres watermark, printed from the original canceled plate (circa 1964). The etched inscription near the top left reads "Chez Seguin à St. Julien" indicating the scene takes place at the home of Paul Gauguin's friend and fellow artist Armand Seguin (1869-1903) and some think that both artists collaborated together to finish the composition. Plate size: 10 1/2 x 16 1/2 inches (265 x 419 mm). Sheet size: 19 x 25 inches (480 x 635 mm). Not signed.
Condition: good overall; there is some foxing in the margin and evidence of handling (not affecting the etched image).
