Émile Sulpis (prints)

SULPIS Emile

FICHE 11720

(1856 - 1943)

Mosaïque de Ravenne (Ravenne's mosaic)

Soft ground

A nice impression on laid paper, signed in pencil lower right, numbered 1/6, 1rst 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: 150 x 100 mm.

Sheet: 255 x 160 mm.
