A mother and her daughter

Handcoloured drypoint

A nice impression on black wove paper, signed in pencil lower right.

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: portraits, 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 works on different engraving processes, in a "print's kitchen" combining several techniques and multiplying the states.
