Les Tortues

Lithograph on simili-Japan wove paper, circa 1893.

Reference: related to Stein & Karshan (L'Estampe Originale) 59.

Unpublished composition, very strongly related to the artist's famous "Panneau Décoratif" color lithograph by "L'Estampe Originale", with a very similar subject. This is very likely one of only a handful of impression of this lithograph (there is a pencil annotation of "2/3" in the lower right sheet corner). Extremely scarce and perhaps unique today. We have not been able to locate any other impression of it anywhere.
