Aristide Maillol (1861-1944) Kneeling woman, one knee raised (Eve). Circa 1926. Etching. 383x310mm. Guérin 330; Johnson 77. A very fine proof on strong white vellum, of the rare 1st state (of 2), before erasure of the sketches in the upper part, unsigned as usual. Minimal foxing. Full margins. Very rare: Guérin cites only two proofs of this state, printed by Fort. Final edition of 100 proofs, for an album of prints that never saw the light of day, envisaged by the publisher A. Vollard.
