Augustin Edouart Cut Silhouette

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Wigs on the Green

Although best known for his individual silhouettes of people, Edouart also cut family conversation pieces that often included the family dog. He kept scrapbooks in which he pasted his practice and experimental cuttings. These scrapbooks and his archive of work were mostly all lost to the sea when Edouart was shipwrecked off the coast of Guernsey in 1829. Some years ago a salvaged scrapbook came to light in a Parisian bookshop and this is the source of this unique cutting of a spaniel waiting for the next treat.
 
The silhouette is presented in a period giltwood frame and has a stamp of authenticity reverse.
