EDGAR DEGAS (1834-1917)
"LE SPORTSMAN MONTANT EN CHEVAL"
This is a very rare opportunity to buy an original etching by Degas made from the original Canceled Plate. The engraving measures 3" x 3.25" and is presented framed. The overall size of the framed piece is 16" x 13".
This is from the cancelled plate. Soft ground etching, drypoint, and roulette, In very good condition apart from a little toning around margin edges. From an edition of 150 impressions printed in 1877 Vollard after the artist's death. Only four lifetime impressions of this plate have been found. The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston identified four proofs from the 1st and 2nd states and they were unable to locate any examples of the third, fourth, or fifth states. This is a very rare etching.
