Nelly Carriere (Tete de femme)
1895
Eugène Carrière
French, 1849-1906
European Art
Eugène Carrière turned to artistic lithography in the late 1880s, developing an unusual and sophisticated technique that involved covering the stone with a lithographic ink that he scratched away with sandpaper to create the dreamlike, smoky atmosphere that also characterized his paintings. This haunting print depicts Carrière’s third daughter.
