Old-Clothes Dealer

etching (1911)
The merchant stands at the threshold of her shop, her shoulders covered with a large shawl. While handling an object, she glances to the right. To her left, a small table, loaded with various objects. To her right, a motley collection: an armchair leaning on an easel bearing print boxes, under which a small stove is enthroned; books, a bust and, hanging from the door and the uprights of the shack, musical instruments, pots and pans, and clothes.
3rd state, 120 mm × 160 mm.
Printed at 75 impressions, 5 state proofs and 15 artist proofs.
BN, Universität Osnabrück..
After erasing the letter, a bowl is placed on the ground in the foreground. Edition Petiet, 1925.

Priv. coll.
In addition to the menu print, four proofs were printed in 1914 by Delâtre, then a few preparatory proofs in 1925 by Vernant, before the retouched plate was printed for Alexis and Petiet (In addition to 15 collaborators' proofs, 5 of which were dedicated, there were 5 trial proofs on various papers, 15 artist's proofs and a print run of 25 on japon and 50 on Arches).
