Arthur Henri LEFORT des YLOUSES – (A woman’s face in profile, in a medallion), ca 1895

Very good impression printed in colors on strong wove paper. Slight waterstain, mostly visible on the back. Rare. The engravings of Lefort des Ylouses involve complex techniques, very difficult to define. Starting with etching, it gains a certain relief, both by the thickness of the inks – of color – and by embossing the paper. The effect is amazing, of a richness of material and an overload that is reminiscent of the painter G. Moreau.
