Charles Cottet (1863-1925) Sisters of the Holy Spirit around a coffin. Etching and aquatint. 415 x 327. Morane 49, printed in color. Very fine proof on ivory laid paper, numbered and signed in black stone. Slight oxidation when the passe-partout was opened. Some very light foxing. Full margins. Very rare. Stamp R. T. "This plate, which recalls Cottet's relationship with the Nabis group, is undoubtedly one of the artist's finest achievements in printmaking. Despite its theoretical print run of 100 proofs, it is rare and not to be found in the collection assembled by Doucet for his Bibliothèque." (D. Morane, Charles Cottet, catalog raisonné de l'œuvre gravé, Musée de Pont-Aven, Bibliothèque d'Art et d'Archéologie-Jacques Doucet, Paris, 2003, p. 65). This print was featured in the following exhibitions: Cent ans d'estampes en Bretagne, Le Faouët, 1998; Cottet, Le Savoyard, peintre voyageur, Évian, 2000; Before and After Gauguin, Atlanta, 2008.
