"Henri Caro-delvaille : Large Lithograph "maternity""
Henri Caro-Delvaille (1876-1928) : "Maternity", large lithograph 55 X 44 cm on chine 77 X 52. Counter-signed in pencil, monogrammed and numbered 75. We have several copies of this lithograph, all slightly different, some with wettings, small tears or traces of folds in the margins. There are anecdotes that cannot be invented: we buy this set at the other end of France and we learn that the Basque Museum of Bayonne has acquired its (very) Big Brother! Admittedly, Caro-Delvaille as well as many other painters known as “of the School of Bayonne”, often pupils of Léon Bonnat, like Roby (his brother-in-law), Ogier, Etcheverry, Bergès, Zo, etc, are part of the ones we're looking for, but not found every day and the coincidence is pretty. See also our oil: “The hug”. Do not hesitate to ask us for photos or additional information by email or phone.
