The Paralytic Woman

etching, aquatint (1910)
An etching essay. The subject, which is difficult to read, is said to be a woman sitting in a three-wheeled cart. Standing behind the cart is a figure loaded with odds and ends on his back.
Only state, 88 mm × 94 mm.
Printed at 3 ou 4 ? state proofs.
BPL 12.

The plate, with its irregular edges, is line-drawn, but deeply bitten. The motif can be compared to a similar group in the Demolition of the Fortifications (small plate) (Ba 301). It would therefore represent a scene from the area. The title chosen here is that given by G. Grignard. The date of this plate is very uncertain.
