SULPIS Emile
FICHE 11738
(1856 - 1943)
Salomé #3
Drypoint, impression in brown
A nice impression on Japan paper, signed in pencil lower right with the artist's initials, annotated "épreuve d'une des deux planches de la gravure" (proof of one of the two print's plates)
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.
