Brumes du Matin (Mists of Morning)
Etching with black chalk, grey wash and white gouache, 1882, 250 x 345 mm. Béraldi 779 i/xi, B. N. Inv. 395 i/vi. Fine impression on laid paper with good margins, extensively reworked in chalk, wash and gouache to indicate changes for later states of the plate, signed in brown ink and with the annotation "Dessin sur une epreuve du !er état." The paper is time toned to an even light brown over the full image, which accentuates the white highlights. In addition to its being an important document of Bracquemond's working procedures, the sheet, literally half print, half drawing, is an exceptionally beautiful object, the precision and detail of the etching complemented by the freedom of the drawn areas and the white heightening.
