Pierre-Auguste Renoir, 1919 Copper Plate Heliogravure on Paper w/ COA
A rare and captivating original heliogravure of La Femme Endormie (The Sleeping Woman) by the legendary French Impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir, issued posthumously in 1919. This intimate portrayal of a serene, slumbering nude is from the suite La Vie et L'Oeuvre de Pierre-Auguste Renoir, a celebrated collection commemorating Renoir's profound artistic legacy. Hand-pulled from a copper plate on December 15, 1919, this exquisite print is part of a limited edition of only 375 impressions on Velin d'Arches, published in Paris by the esteemed art dealer and publisher Ambroise Vollard and printed by master printer Emile Fequet. The print exhibits Renoir's hallmark sensuality, warmth, and subtlety of form, captured through the heliogravure technique with extraordinary tonal depth and texture. This example is preserved in a giltwood frame with a classic French motif and retains its original certificate of authenticity from Nathan Daniel Isen, a noted author and expert in European works on paper. Signature in plate.
