About the Item

This exquisite lithograph and pochoir after Albrecht Durer (1471–1528), titled Deux tetes d'enfant (Two children’s heads), originates from the 1968 folio Visages d'Enfants. Quinze Dessins de Durer a Dufy Appartenant aux Collections des Musees Nationaux (Faces of Children. Fifteen Drawings from Durer to Dufy from the Collections of the National Museums), published by Editions Artistiques et Documentaires, Paris, and Daniel Jacomet, Editeur, Paris, and rendered and printed by Daniel Jacomet et Cie, Paris, 1968. The composition translates Durer’s acute observation, intellectual rigor, and mastery of line into a refined twentieth century print idiom that preserves the authority and intimacy of the original Renaissance drawing. Executed as a lithograph and pochoir on velin paper, archivally hinged on a velin support sheet as issued, this work measures 18.5 x 14 inches overall, with each image measuring approximately 5.31 x 3.95 inches. Signed in the plate and unnumbered as issued. Rendered and printed by Daniel Jacomet et Cie, Paris.

It was drawn in LXX numbered examples and L examples, out of the trade. About the Publication: Visages d'Enfants. Quinze Dessins de Durer a Dufy Appartenant aux Collections des Musees Nationaux, issued in 1968, represents a landmark achievement in Parisian printmaking devoted to the faithful translation of historic master drawings into modern pochoir and lithographic form. Conceived and published by Daniel Jacomet in collaboration with Editions Artistiques et Documentaires, the album inaugurated a series dedicated to rendering canonical drawings with extraordinary precision, respecting line weight, tonal subtlety, and the original spirit of each work. Jacomets atelier was internationally renowned for its technical rigor and scholarly approach, bridging museum collections and contemporary print culture through meticulous craftsmanship. Drawing together works spanning centuries, from Albrecht Durer to Raoul Dufy, the album reflects a curatorial ambition rooted in pedagogy, preservation, and aesthetic continuity. Produced in strictly limited examples, including a small number outside the trade, the album exemplifies the highest standards of mid twentieth century Parisian printmaking and remains valued for its role in transmitting the legacy of master draughtsmanship to collectors, institutions, and scholars. About the Artist: Albrecht Durer (1471–1528) was a German painter, draughtsman, printmaker, and theorist whose unmatched command of line, proportion, and intellectual symbolism established him as one of the most important artists in the history of Western art and the central genius of the Northern Renaissance, with an influence that continues to resonate through modern and contemporary practice and can be traced in the work of later innovators such as Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray. Trained in the humanist traditions of late medieval Germany and profoundly shaped by his travels to Italy, Durer absorbed the breakthroughs of classical antiquity, Renaissance perspective, anatomy, and mathematics, synthesizing them with Northern European precision into a body of work that permanently elevated engraving and woodcut to the highest level of fine art. His engravings, woodcuts, and drawings set enduring standards for technical refinement, expressive power, and symbolic complexity, while his oil paintings and portraits revealed unprecedented psychological depth and intellectual self awareness that helped define the modern concept of the artist as both craftsman and thinker. Revered by later masters including Rembrandt, William Blake, Francisco Goya, Edvard Munch, and Paul Klee, Durer’s legacy endures in museums, scholarship, and the foundations of printmaking itself. His standing in the global art market reflects this stature, with a master drawing achieving approximately 30.6 million USD at Christies London on July 1, 2021.
