Description
of the subject depicted in the print:
Goupil & Cie was a leading art dealership in 19th century France, with headquarters in Paris. Step by step, Goupil established a worldwide trade with fine art reproductions of paintings and sculptures, with a network of branches in London, Brussels, The Hague, Berlin and Vienna, as well as in New York and Australia. Instrumental for this expansion were the Ateliers Photographiques, a plant north of Paris, in Asnières, which took up work in 1869. The leading figure was Adolphe Goupil (1806–1893). His daughter Marie married the French artist Jean-Léon Gérôme.

Goupil\'s reproductions made Jean-Léon Gérôme, in particular, a well known artist. When Theo van Gogh (art dealer) (1820–1888), the brother of painter Vincent van Gogh, entered the firm, the business was expanded to paintings and drawings, finally in 1872 to industrial images, including photographic and héliographic procedures. Vincent van Gogh fell ill and retired in 1872, but he left his money in the firm until 1878. Albert Goupil, son of Adolphe, took over his duties. When in 1878 the van Gogh shares were finally withdrawn, René Valadon entered the business. From then the firm was completely in the hand of the Goupil family and their sons-in-law Léon Boussod and René Valadon. When in 1884 the Goupil family retired, the firm was again transformed and renamed Boussod, Valadon & Cie, successeurs de Goupil & Cie. Three years later, May 25–27, 1887, the stock of the gallery was sold at sale, \"caused by the renewal of the ancient firm Goupil & Cie\". [Wikipedia]

A young lady is looking at caged love-birds. A Japanese screen is a marvel of painting. The flesh, in the original painting, though beautifully modelled and very good in expression, is chalky in colour, and rather opaque.
