Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Lithograph printed in eleven colors, c. 1898, with the additional printed signature at lower left, framed

The print is generally in good condition and the colors are bright and present themselves well. The upper and lower margins were previously folded back 2 1/2 and 4 1/4 inches respectively, with the resulting creases slightly breaking through and backed with japan in places. There is associated discoloration along the creases recto and verso, as well as at the sheet edges. A dark fox mark in the center of the sheet verso is not visible recto and a few other specks of foxing are visible only in the margins.
