Description
Large original leaf (recto/verso) removed from the renowned Paris art review Verve, 1939.
*
Recto: French academic studies of the male nude, in the Neoclassical manner, after Jacques-Louis David / École des Beaux-Arts (attribution based on style; please review the printed credit in photos)
*
Verso: Giovanni Battista Bracelli, “Harlequin”-a geometric, harlequin figure after the 17th-century master of the Bizzarie engravings (name BRACELLI printed beneath the image)
*
Rich photogravure/heliogravure printing on wove stock; published in Paris (Verve’s high-quality production)
*
Desirable two-sided content-classical figure studies on one side and an early-modern avant-garde subject on the other
*
Condition: clean overall with light toning at margins, minor handling, and stitch holes along the inner edge from the original binding-consistent with a vintage Verve leaf
*
Leaf size approx. 10.5 x 14 in (27 x 36 cm)
A strong, display-ready sheet with cross-over appeal to collectors of academic figure studies, Neoclassicism, and early modern graphic art. Please view all photos for captions, condition, and scale.
