Edouart Small Cutting of a Dog

19th century
Description

Although best known for his individual silhouettes of people, Augustin 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 dog pleading for another biscuit.

The silhouette is presented in a period daguerreotype frame and has a stamp of authenticity within. The frame shows some light wear but is perfectly stable and ready to hang.

Framed Size: 98 x 86mm

Provenance: The Artist's Scrapbook

Physical Dimensions
Height
10cm (3.94")
Width
8.5cm (3.35")
Declaration
