sold out

France, early 20th century.

An original woodcut by French modernist Aristide Maillol, created for Ambroise Vollard’s celebrated 1937 illustrated edition of Virgil’s Les Géorgiques.

Part of the early 20th-century tradition of livres d’artiste, these prints were commissioned from leading artists and issued in limited fine-press editions—often later separated and framed as standalone works of art.

Maillol’s sculptural approach to line lends a quiet, classical presence that layers effortlessly into both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Because every good room needs a past.

Artist: Aristide Maillol (1861-1944) is widely regarded as one of the foremost sculptors of the early modernist period. A contemporary of Pierre Bonnard and Édouard Vuillard, Maillol’s work is held in major international museum collections including The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Musee d’Orsay.

In addition to sculpture, Maillol maintained an active printmaking practice, producing woodcuts and lithographs characterized by their quiet monumentality and classical restraint.
