Hammer Price: $200
SOLD
Skylight Gallery 11
October 2000

Large-format brown-black toned woodburytype illustrating objects from the Collection AM, by Goupil Studio, France, 1871. Print 7.5 x 9.5 inches (19x24 cm) on fancy mount 17.5 x 23.5 inches (45x60 cm).   ( Inventory# fc45.12 )

The warlike assembly of finely worked daggers, guns and crossbows is joined not to the traditional trophy heads, helmets, etc. but to a lovely female head and funky vase with tulips. Comfy haphazard cushions on the bench lend an aura of actual home life rather than dry tableau.

Mount has noticeable foxing , outside the brown printed band surrounding image.
