Mostly known for his interpretation work, the French engraver Émile Sulpis (1856 - 1943) also produced intimate prints and drawings. Certainly intended for his relatives or for himself, thoses graphic works show a pannel of techniques: drypoint, aquatint, soft varnish, pastel, pencil, charcoal, gouache... Most of his works represent a single model; a young woman with black hair, who may have been his wife. From the Belle Epoque to the Roaring Twenties, from long hair to boyish cuts, we follow him through his travels in France, Normandy and Corsica.
