Drypoint, impression in brown

1889

A nice impression on wove paper, signed lower right, dated, 2nd 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. Emile Sulpis worked on different engraving processes, in a "print's kitchen" combining several techniques and multiplying the states.

Plate: 290 x 220 mm.

Sheet: 320 x 250 mm.

Condition: slight light- and time-staining in the margins.
