Émile Sulpis (prints)

SULPIS Emile

FICHE 11792

(1856 - 1943)

woman with flowers

Drypoint, aquatinte and soft ground, impression in brown 

A nice impression on wove paper "ATS", signed in pencil lower right, numbered 1/9, 4th 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: 140 x 95 mm.

Sheet: 325 x 230 mm.

Condition: slight light-staining in the margins.
