Printed in an edition of only twenty-five impressions, this 1925 lithograph represents the second and final state of the composition, bearing Denis's monogram within the stone alongside a pencil signature and Roman numeral notation. The dry stamp of the Galerie des Peintres-Graveurs, Paris, authenticated by the Lugt reference 1057b, affirms the work's distinguished exhibition provenance and underscores the care with which Denis approached printmaking as a serious artistic discipline rather than a secondary pursuit. The image itself, modest in scale at 19 by 26.5 centimetres within a sheet of 33 by 50 centimetres, achieves the contemplative stillness the title promises, distilling the meditative quality that defined Denis's mature vision. Denis was among the founding voices of the Nabis movement and a principal theorist of Symbolist painting, yet his lithographic work of the 1920s reveals an artist who had arrived at a quieter, more lyrical language. In Solitude (rouge), the compositional restraint and chromatic warmth reflect his enduring interest in the spiritual resonance of everyday subjects, a sensibility rooted in his belief that art's primary purpose was the expression of inner life through form and colour rather than mere representation. This second-state impression, drawn from a total edition of one hundred and fifty, occupies the rarest tier of the print's distribution, making it a compelling acquisition for collectors who prize both documentary significance and the intimate character of the lithographic medium. The work presents in generally fine condition, with only minor foxing noted. It is offered unframed, allowing the collector full latitude in presentation.
