The Oath of the Jeu de Paume. Pure etching by Dominique Vivant-Denon. 1794. Proof without letter, not finished. According to the documents provided, David prepares the engraving in 1794, but Vivant-Denon who started the engraving finds that this work is too considerable and asks for the help of a collaborator for the burin and the reworking of the point. The engraving remains like this and would have been printed only in a few trial copies. Yellowed, with stains and a few accidents. A little cut. 47,5 x 74cm.
