Description
I recently purchased the Renoir lithograph entitled "Claude Renoir tourne a gauche" (Stella/Delteil 40) from an antique dealer in Austria. I am familiar with the 2nd state of this print published by Vollard in 1919 (50 on Japon ancien, 950 on velin); however, I have never seen another 1st state specimen without the signature. I have been told that these proofs are quite rare with probably only a few ever published.
The print appears in good overall condition, except for the trimmed margins. Does anyone have any additional information regarding this print? Any idea of the value, trimmed margins notwithstanding.
