Albert Marquet (1875-1947) After
The Seine, View from the Quai Des Grands Augustins, circa 1908
Copper matrix for heliogravure
13 x 16 cm
Signed lower right
Rare copper matrix for a heliogravure of the famous painting by Albert Marquet from 1904 'La Seine, Vue Du Quai Des Grands Augustins'
We know that the merchant Ambroise Vollard around 1908 will publish photoengravings and heliogravures of Marquet's works and it is reasonable to think that our matrix could have been made by Albert Marquet and Ambroise Vollard for this purpose.
