Bounding

Silhouettist Augustin Edouart has successfully caught the energy and movement of this little dog as it leaps in the air.

This delightful cut silhouette has been extracted from the artist’s Scrapbook of practice and experimental cuttings. Most of Edouart’s archive of work was lost to the sea when he was shipwrecked off the coast of Guernsey in 1829. Some years ago a salvaged scrapbook came to light in a Parisian bookshop and this is the source of this unique cutting.

The silhouette is presented in a period ambrotype frame with a decorative gilt border. There is a stamp of authenticity within.
