A stunning nude by a renowned 19th C French artist: Auguste Barthelemy Glaize (1807-1893).

(horizontal shadow not in the piece)

Glaize was Achille Deveria's student.
I happen to have several pieces by Deveria in my Fine Art/Antique category, that you may want to check to see their continuity in style.

Glaize is a listed artist with works in major Museums like Musee d'Orsay, the Chicago Art Institute, the LA county Museum, etc.

His son Pierre-Paul-Leon Glaize also became a major painter after him.

You will find paintings by Auguste Glaize on artnet, also in Google images. They are breathtaking!

The piece, circa 1860, shows 2 young people in love in the Antiquity.
They are in the woods, by a small brook.

The engraving plays on the contrast of dark forest white bodies, creating an illumination of the nude which really dazzles you.

This is of course 19th C Academic Art, but it has incredible beauty and sensitivity.

The poet Baudelaire praised Glaize for his rendering of femininity. No wonder!

A small masterpiece to keep very preciously.
