Trial Proof – Original Engraving By Jacques Beltrand – Wooded Landscape

Rare proof print on laid paper by Jacques Beltrand (1874–1977), a French master engraver. This woodcut, hand-signed in pencil, depicts a forest landscape in a refined and contrasting graphic style, typical of his work. The rendering of the foliage, the depth and the light demonstrate a perfect mastery of the relief engraving technique. Jacques Beltrand, a member of the Institute, illustrated great literary texts (Dante, Claudel, Ronsard, etc.). This unique piece, printed before the final edition, is of particular value to lovers of original prints.
