Pluie et Parapluie (Rain and Umbrella)

Etching, drypoint and aquatint, 1876-77, 119 x 80 mm., Bourcard/Goodfriend 68 ii/iii. A very fine impression on laid paper with good margins. Both this and the following small plate take up, at an early point in Buhot's printed oeuvre, the theme of dark and stormy weather and the sentient creatures that populate it, a major preoccupation of his later, larger and more familiar works.
