Noblewoman

Noblewoman is an amazing black and white etching on cream paper, made by the French artist and engraver  Jean Coraboeuf (1870-1947), Grand Prix de Rome in 1898 and successful worldly portraitist.

Monogrammed on plate on the lower right corner, signed and dated on plate on the lower margin at the center, and hand-signed in black ink on the lower right margin.

This original print realized with a very fluid and sure touch represents a noblewoman, charming still today with her beauty and elegance. Because of the Neoclassical fashion, her hairstyle, and her pose on the triclinium, it is possible to recognize the woman in the person of Paolina Borghese.

The sheet is in excellent condition, including a white cardboard passepartout (49.3 x 69 cm), with a dry-stamp on the lower left corner "HKS Cercle Librairie Estampes".
