L’Odalisque couchee

1875-1877
19th century

Édouard Manet, French, (1832–1883)

Object Type: print
Medium and Support: Etching on papier vergé (1949.D1.1.5a) and papier japonais (1949.D1.1.5b) in bound volume
Series: from Manet (Edmond Bazire)
Edition: Two etchings (two Impressions on different papers) in bound volume; one of 50 copies of the extra-illustrated edition de luxe, containing two impressions of each of the two etchings. From facing p. 114 of Edmond Bazire’s one-volume Manet (Paris: A. Quantin, 1884), which includes Emile Zola’s Edouard Manet, étude biographique et critique (1867) and Charles Cros’s Le Fleuve. Per Fisher (Manet, 1985, p. 23): “The prints in this volume were extra-illustrated, or bound in. The book was owned at one time by Avery who acquired many of his rarest Manets from George A. Lucas (1824–1909). Lucas was assisted by the major collector of Manet, Henri Guérard (1846–1897) whose association with Manet began in the 1870s. Guérard also printed editions from the plates before Manet's death & shortly afterward. Major American holdings—Avery & Lucas—derive essentially from Guérard.”
Provenance / Collectors' Marks: Samuel Putnam Avery (Lugt 41)
