Georges Rouault. 1871-1958.
Automne (Autumn). c. 1938. Aquatint print in colors. Chapon/Rouault 288C. 19 1/2 x 25 1/2. Edition 175, #44. Published by Vollard. A rich impression with bright, fresh colors printed on watermarked Montval paper, on the full sheet with deckle edges. Signed in ink, numbered in pencil. Housed in an elegant 35 x 39-inch late 19th to early 20th-century Louis XV Revival (Neo-Rococo style) moulding featuring a dark, high-gloss faux-tortoiseshell finish, ornate gilt corner cartouches, and an inner gold lip, $17,500.
Rouault returned to theme of Autumn, and used it in a large lithograph and then this large aquatint. Automne is Rouault's tour-de-force and a secular stand-out in a printmaking oeuvre with a concentration on religious, spiritual and Biblical themes. It is among his most colorful, technically complex and largest prints, and the most impressive of his secular fine prints.
