Gerard Bachelet La Chrysalide Lithograph Nude, Numbered Edition, Framed

About the Item

Gerard Bachelet. A pale, softly modelled nude kneels folded into an enormous green leaf that wraps around her like a cocoon, her blonde hair swept up and a filmy white veil drifting across her body. Around her lie cowrie shells, small stones and a banded snail on bands of sand-yellow and green, with a hazy pale seascape above. The colour is delicate and chalky - leaf green, flesh, sand, faint blue - printed on heavy white paper with a wide margin, titled and numbered in pencil below. Medium: colour lithograph on wove paper. Signed pencil, lower right of the margin, reading "Gerard Bachelet". Edition: 19/50. Inscribed on the reverse or mount: 19/50; "La Chrysalide"; Gerard Bachelet. Condition: The mat is noticeably browned and water-stained, especially along the top and left, and the backing paper is toned; the print itself looks clean. Frame rubbed at the corners.
