SULPIS Emile

FICHE 11723

(1856 - 1943)

Woman leaning on a chair

Soft ground

1913

A nice impression on Japan paper, signed in pencil lower right, numbered 15/16.

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: 85 x 100 mm.

Sheet: 160 x 250 mm.
