Eugène GRASSET (1841-1917) The Sleep of the Valkyrie. (Pl. for The Valkyrie - poem and music by Richard Wagner, Paris, 1893, éditions P. Schott). Photomechanical process. W. 157 x H. 198 mm. Interesting trial proof on ivory vellum, annotated at the foot in 3 lines of pencil: "Nothing in Wotan's coat or in the Beard, unless in the latter the tone does not cover as it does in Brunhilde's hair. Here, the tone covers too much. In any case, keep the 1st Red, Blue, Metal and Flesh". Along the right-hand edge, watercolor samples of reference colors, annotated. All margins. On verso, annotation in pencil "Colour by Grasset". Fine margins. Provenance: Former collections of César-Abraham Romagnoli dit Romagnol (engraver, publisher, founder of the Collection des Dix) or Rougier (collaborator and friend of M. Romagnol).
