Description

Although best known for his individual silhouettes of people, Augustin Edouart (1788-1818) often cut large family conversation pieces that included the family dog. Being a perfectionist, he practised cutting dogs of all sizes pasting these experimental cuttings into scrapbooks to retain. These books were amongst his archive of work that was mostly all lost at 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 spaniel-type dog with a bushy tail.
The silhouette is presented in a ambrotype frame with a decorative gilt border and a new hanging ring. There is a stamp of authenticity within.
Framed Size: 65 x 78mm
Provenance: The Artist's Scrapbook
