Cinq Eaux-Fortes de Bracquemond d'après les Dessins de Jules Chéret (Five Etchings after Drawings by Jules Chéret)
Etchings, chalk roll and roulette, 1897-98, 382 x 265 mm. and smaller, subsequent to Béraldi, B. N. Inv. 476-480. The complete set in the original paper folder with printed title. Fine fresh impressions on wove paper with full margins. Once again, we are confronted with Bracquemond's inventiveness and technical expertise in translating the work of another artist into etching. Chéret's drawings are quick and spontaneous chalk or crayon sketches, not highly finished works. Bracquemond tackles the problem and recreates the spontaneous appearance through the use of different roulettes (one called a chalk roll and invented in the 18th century to imitate the appearance of a chalk line) and mere flicks of the etching needle.
Of the five prints, two are of a Mme. X, one of a seated model seen from behind, one of three female nudes wearing bonnets, and one of the once famous dancer Loïe Fuller, fully dressed, seated in a chair and holding of all things a fencing foil. The image shown here is the last.
