Jews in Front of the Western Wall – Photogravure after Alexandre Bida – France, 1880s or 1890s
Les Juifs devant le mur de Salomon d'après le dessin original appartenant à M. Osiris, [Jews in front of the Western Wall, after an original drawing belonging to Mr. Osiris], Paris and London: Boussod, Valadon & Cie Successeurs de Goupil & Cie, [ca. 1885].
Photogravure on chine collé of an etching by Jules-Adolphe Chauvet after Alexandre Bida (1813-1895). Signed in the plate by Bida. The drawing was ordered by the financier, art patron and philanthropist Daniel Iffla-Osiris (1825-1907). The print was also published in Berlin by Verlag von Boussod, Valadon & Co. and in New York by M. Knoedler.
Alexandre Bida was renowned as one of the greatest draughtsmen in 19th-century France. He specialized in Orientalism and travelled several times in the Middle East. His drawings were said to be "paintings without colour or engravings that did not pass under the burin, but have the same value and weight".
Photogravure: 53.5X37.5 cm. Leaf: 65X52.5 cm. Good condition. Matted.
