From my mother’s estate, purchased in 1981, an original Camille Pissarro etching, 3/530, dated 1891. This is the famous “Marche aux Legumes, a Pontoise”.
Medium: original etching and aquatint with drypoint. Catalogue reference: Delteil 97. Executed in 1891, this is from the edition on cream wove paper published in 1923 for inclusion in the Loys Delteil catalogue raisonne “Le peintre-graveur illustre. Measures 12 1/2 x 9 1/4 inches (318 x 235 mm).
My mother paid $1200 in 1981. The current price is anywhere from $850-$2000. The lesser priced etchings do not come with a certificate of authenticity, as this print does.
I am asking $300. There is a lovely frame that comes with the print. Can send a photo of the frame if requested. The linen matting will need to be replaced.
As a side note, the Portland Art Museum also holds one of these etchings in its Vivian and Gordon Gilkey collection.
