SULPIS Emile

FICHE 11577

(1856 - 1943)

After the bath

Drypoint and soft ground 

A nice impression on wove paper, signed in pencil lower right and numbered 1/1 lower left, 6th state. 

Aside to his interpretation's work, Emile Sulpis shows his times in a series of small original intimate prints. The female figure holds a central place: bathing scenes, languid models, sports and domestic activities are recurring subjects in his paper work. In view of he annotations in the margins, it is a personal production, probably not intended for the public. Emil Sulpis worked on different engraving processes, in a "print's kitchen" combining several techniques and multiplying the states.

Plate: 140 x 100 mm.

Sheet: 235 x 170 mm.

Condition: light-staining, slight scattered foxing in the margins.
