THE IMPROVISED CUP ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAVURE ELIZABETH GARDNER LATE 1800S
THE ORIGINAL PAINTING WAS CALLED THE IMPROVISED CUP. THE ARTIST WAS ELIZABETH JANE GARDNER BOUGUEREAU. SHE PAINTED THIS IN 1884.THE PAINTING DEPICTS A YOUNG GIRL AND AN OLDER WOMEN SHARING AN INTIMATE MOMENT IN A NATURAL WOODEN SETTING. THE WOMEN ARE OFFERING COMFORT OR GUIDANCE TO THE CHILD. IT WAS EXHIBITED IN THE PARIS SALON, AND THIS PHOTOGRAVURE WAS CREATED SHORTLY AFTER.
THE DIMENSIONS ARE 11 5/8" X 17"
I FOUND THIS ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAVURE IN AN OLD ATTIC IN THE LATE 1970S. THIS HOME WAS BUILT IN THE 1700S IN CONNECTICUT. THIS WAS IN A SECTION OF THE ATTIC THAT HADN'T BEEN EXPLORED IN YEARS.
VERY GOOD FOR ITS AGE, THERE ARE IMPERFECTIONS LIKE SPOTTING. THE ACTUAL PHOTOGRAVURE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THIS WOULD LOOK ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL WHEN FRAMED.
