Albert BESNARD (1849–1934) “Mes enfants” (aka “Une famille”), 1889, published in the “Gazette des Beaux-Arts” Etching and aquatint with plate tone on cream laid paper and full margins as published State ii (of ii) Delteil 94 ii; Coppier 80 ii Idbury Prints, offers the following insightful description of this print: “One of Besnard's most tender and intimate etchings, using his own children as models, this etching, although quite different in composition, clearly relates to Besnard's important painting of 1890, “Une famille”, which is in the Musée d'Orsay.” Source: @printsandprinciples #etching #artofetching #aquatint #beautyofdrawing #historyofart #childrenportrait #todaymood (at Moscow, Russia)
