About the Item

ADRIAEN VAN OSTADE (1610-1685) The Anglers etching, circa 1647-53, on laid paper, without watermark, a very fine impression of the rare third/ fourth state (of seven), printing with a light plate tone, with traces of burr on the bridge and elsewhere and fine wiping marks, with narrow margins, in very good condition. References: Bartsch, Hollstein, Godefroy 26, plate 113 x 166 mm., sheet 116 x 169 mm. Provenance: Richard Fisher (1809-1890), Hill Top, Midhurst, England (Lugt 931 & 2204); his sale, Sothebys, London, 23 May 1892, lot 583 ( 2,12; to Gutekunst). With H.G. Gutekunst, Stuttgart. Dr. Eduard Trautscholdt (1893-1976) Leipzig, Dsseldorf (director at C.G. Boerner since 1947); presumably acquired from the above; then by descent. With C.G Boerner, New York; sold on behalf of the descendents of the above. Private American Collection; acquired from the above. This very fine rare early example is before the later Picart edition, before the shadows on the plate were accentuated with fine close lines. The composition was essentially complete in the earliest states; in the third state the sky was covered with very fine, spaced horizontal lines, and the contours of the fisherman’s sleeve as well as the horizontal beam over the first pair of pilings on the left were completed. This is considered one of Van Ostade’s only landscape etchings. Along with Van Ostade’s very few landscape paintings, is suggests the influence of Rembrandt.

Paysage au Buttes-Chaumont (2nd Planche), 1920-21
By Jean-Emile Laboureur
Located in New York, NY
Jean-Emile Laboureur (1877-1943) etching and engraving Paysage au Buttes-Chaumont (2nd Planche), 1920-21, signed and numbered ( 38/55) in pencil. Reference: Sylvain Laboureur 205. In very good condition with wide margins (remains of old hinging on margin verso, some showing through not near image). On white wove paper, 7 7/8 x 9 1/4, the sheet 10 x 13 1/2 inches, archival matting. A fine, fresh and clear impression of this important cubist-influenced scene. Jean-Emile Laboureur was born in Nantes in 1877. He traveled to Paris in 1895 intending to study law at the Sorbonne, but found himself drawn to the nearby famed Academie Julian, and although he never officially matriculated there, he became immersed in the Parisian art scene. Laboureur then traveled widely, staying for periods in the US and London, and studying classic art and printmaking in Italy and Germany. Although he had moved back to Paris by 1910, a time when analytical cubism was emerging in the work of Picasso and Braque, he continued working in an abstract, modernist mode, waiting until about 1913 or shortly thereafter to invent a cubist idiom all his own. Cubism remained an important theme for Laboureur, a theme he varied, sometimes using it as a strong design or compositional component, sometimes only as a subtle background element. In Paysage aux Buttes...
