Vitrioleuse
by GRASSET, Eugène-Samuel, Lithograph, hand-stencilled in 5 colours, 393 x 274 mm
Most notable among Grasset’s graphic achievements are the lithographs La Vitrioleuse (1894) for the album L’Estampe originale (1893-95) and La Morphinomane (1897), both of which are dramatic and frightening images of women, whose bold, decorative treatment is derived from Japanese prints.
The present lithograph is from the series L’Estampe originale, Album VI. It was printed by Auguste Delâtre (1822–1907) and published by Andr� Marty (born 1857).
