Allegory of Spring (Le Printemps)

ca. 1883
19th century
148 x 99 mm (5.8 x 3.9 in.)

Auguste Rodin, French, (1840–1917)

Object Type: print
Medium and Support: Drypoint on laid paper
State: Only state
Print impression quality: Excellent
Edition: This was included as an original print in the March 1902 “Gazette des Beaux-Arts” for Roger Marx’s article “Les Pointes Sèches de Rodin.” The article was also issued separately as an illustrated pamphlet, and an unspecified number of additional impressions of “Le Printemps” were made on laid paper for its separate publication. The DAC’s impression would seem to be from this latter group.
