In good condition Notes: This etching is after a painting by French artist Jean-Baptiste Jacques Augustin (1759-1832) which is part of the permanent collection of the Museé du Louvre, Paris, France. This etching and drypoint was published by Gazette des Beaux-Arts. The Gazette des Beaux-Arts was a French art review, found in 1859 by Édouard Houssaye, with Charles Blanc as its first chief editor. Assia Visson Rubinstein was chief editor under the direction of George Wildenstein from 1928 until 1960. Her papers, which include all editions of the Gazette from this period, are intact at the Cantonal and University Library of Lausanne in Dorigny. The Gazette was a world reference work on art history for nearly 100 years - one other editor in chief, from 1955 to 1987, was Jean Adhémar. It was bought in 1928 by the Wildenstein family, whose last representative was Daniel Wildenstein, its director from 1963 until his death in 2001. The review closed in 2002. Biography: Émile Auguste Renault, better known by his pseudonym Malo-Renault, was a French pastelist, color engraver and illustrator. He was born in Saint-Malo on October 5, 1870 and died in Le Havre on July 19, 1938. Since childhood he started drawing frequently. Auguste Lemoine (1848-1909), a drawing teacher at the college of Saint-Malo from 1883 to 1903 inspired him to draw from nature and in colour. Under the direction of Auguste Lemoine, Malo-Renault experimented with etchings.After completing his Bachelor of Arts, Malo-Renault went on to study architecture in Paris as a Stéphane Pannemaker student at the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs.It was only after his marriage in 1897 with Honorine Tian (1871-1953), known as Nori Malo-Renault, a student of etcher Géry-Bichard, that Malo-Renault began his engraving career with the support of his wife for the development of color prints, in particular in Le serpent noir by Paul Adam. Between 1903 and 1928 he participated in many exhibitions at the Salon of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, where he was a member from 1910. It is a representative of the art nouveau style with a Japanese influence. Jean-Baptiste Jacques Augustin (August 15, 1759 – April 13, 1832) was a French miniature painter.

"Mes Petites Amies, Les Deux Sœurs" signed by Jacques Villon
By Jacques Villon
Located in Milwaukee, WI
This is an original drypoint and aquatint artwork by Jacques Villon. The artist signed in pencil on the lower right. As well as signed in plate at the top right of the image. This is a wonderful artwork of different intaglio processes being brought together in a beautiful almost seamless harmony. The thin pencil like markings and hair detailing are made using the Drypoint printmaking method. Whilst the color details around the girls are made using the Aquatint etching method. Jacques Villon shows his skills as a printmaker with the way these pieces line up perfectly and with how clean the rest of the plate is around the girls. Catalogue Raisonne E101, pg. 66-67 (Ginestet & Pouillon. It depicts two young girls. 15" x 11 1/2" art 25 1/8" x 20" frame French painter, printmaker and illustrator.

In January 1894, having completed his studies at the Lycée Corneille in Rouen, he was sent to study at the Faculty of Law of the University of Paris, but within a year he was devoting most of his time to art, already contributing lithographs to Parisian illustrated newspapers such as Assiette au beurre. At this time he chose his pseudonym: Jack (subsequently Jacques) in homage to Alphonse Daudet’s novel Jack (1876) and Villon in appreciation of the 15th-century French poet François Villon...
