A superb, richly-inked impression.We have found only two other impressions of this subject printed on vellum at auction in the past 30 years.Provenance: Marcel Louis Guérin, Paris, with the ink stamp (Lugt 1872b, lower left recto); James Henry Lockhart, Pittsburgh, with the red ink stamp (Lugt 4387, lower left verso).According to Thorson, "The drypoint Le Printemps is the reverse image of La Nuit, a motif from Rodin's [1840-1917] Pompeii vase made at Sèvres . . . Records at the Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory show Rodin working on the vase on and off from December 1880, indicating that the drypoint could date from 1882." Delteil 4; Thorson 4.
