Femme nue assise (S. 12)

Renoir Pierre-Auguste

123071 Renoir, Pierre-auguste Femme nue assise c. 1906 D., S. 12 7 1/4'' x 5 9/16'' Soft ground etching on laid paper with large margins. Printed in sepia. One of 8 original etchings from the edition published in Theodore Duret's 'L'Histoire des peintres impressionnistes,', Paris, Floury, 1906 (a small number of impressions were also printed in sanguine on Japan paper for the deluxe edition). From the first and only state. In soft ground etching the lines look like pencil or crayon lines, and are made by drawing on a piece of paper that covers a soft wax coating on the plate. When the paper is lifted off, it removes the wax where the pencil was pressed. Some wax will remain in the pattern of the paper grain, picking up the texture of the paper. Papers with a pronounced tooth or weave will leave the pattern of the weave on the final image.
