Le Ballet
Lithograph printed in colors, 1897, I.F.F. 82, André pg. 228; edition perhaps 100. 15 1/4 x 19 3/4 in. Signed in pencil, lower right. This is a superb, luminous impression of this major print by Lunois. The paper is a thin cream Japanese and the margins are full. The condition is fine. Lunois was especially gifted at creating delicate washes to create a painterly, luminescent effect. The connection to Degas is quite evident in this subject.

Tennis Players (Joueuses de Tennis)
Lithograph printed in colors, circa 1895-1900, edition probably 100. 15 x 19 7/8 in. Signed in pencil, lower right. This is a fine impression with fresh, vibrant colors. The paper is a thin Japanese and the margins are full. The condition is fine. Lunois excelled in the medium of color lithography and he produced some of the best work in France during the fin de siècle era.

The Tapestry (La Tapisserie)
Lithograph printed in colors, circa 1895-1900, edition unknown. 11 x 16 1/2 in. Signed in pencil, lower right. This is a superb, luminous impression of this uncommon print. The paper is a light cream, fibrous Japanese and the margins appear to be full with the top margin somewhat narrow. The condition is very good other than for minor discoloration and handling creases in the margins only. This exquisite, subtle print displays a keen understanding of the difficult medium of color lithography. He was especially gifted at creating delicate washes to create a painterly, luminescent effect. The best work of Lunois is today quite underrated.
