The Buoy (Port of St. Tropez)

1863 - 1935

Paul Signac

French

According to the catalogue raisonné, the edition numbers 60 prints, of which 20 feature a “remarque.” A “remarque” refers to a small image, emblem or symbol in the margin of a print. The catalogue raisonné specifies that the "remarque" for these 20 prints takes the shape of a green sailboat set in the lower left corner of the margin. This particular print is a trial proof without the "remarque" and with marginal annotations about ink types and colors.
