Produced in the artist’s atelier in France, the print is numbered 19/75 and signed in pencil. Coignard’s works are held in major public and private collections, including the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Les Jumeaux de Virgine highlights Coignard’s tactile approach to printmaking, merging texture, symbolism, and gestural mark-making in a layered and expressive composition. His characteristic use of text fragments and painterly surfaces blurs the line between painting and print, creating a unique visual language. The print is in very good condition, with natural surface texture and slight undulation of the paper typical of Coignard’s carborundum technique. Colours remain vivid and well preserved.
