Painting Description
"Portrait de Verlaine" is a notable work by the French Symbolist artist Eugène Carrière (1849–1906), known for his evocative and ethereal representations of figures and faces. This particular print is a tribute to the esteemed French poet Paul Verlaine (1844–1896), a leading figure in the Symbolist movement and one of the most gifted poets of the late 19th century. The portrait is characterized by Carrière's signature style, which often involved muted tones and a soft, almost dreamlike quality, capturing the essence of his subjects with emotional depth and intimacy.
The artwork is a fine print, specifically a "belle épreuve," which translates to "beautiful proof," indicating that it is a high-quality impression. It is signed by the artist, adding to its authenticity and value. The medium used is "chine appliqué," a technique where a thin sheet of China paper is applied to a thicker sheet of "velin fort," or strong vellum paper, before being run through the press. This method allows for finer detail and a more delicate texture in the final print.
The edition size of "Portrait de Verlaine" is limited to approximately one hundred copies, making it a relatively scarce piece. The description "petites rousseurs" suggests that the print exhibits some minor foxing, which are small, brownish spots that can appear on paper over time due to age or exposure to humidity. "Bonnes marges" indicates that the print retains good margins, which is often desirable in print collecting as it suggests the piece has not been overly trimmed or altered.
The mention of "frottements en surface" reveals that there is some rubbing on the surface of the print, which may be due to handling or framing. Such condition issues are not uncommon in older prints and can be considered part of the work's history and provenance.
Overall, "Portrait de Verlaine" by Eugène Carrière is a significant work that reflects the artist's mastery of printmaking and his connection to the Symbolist literary movement. Its limited edition, signature, and the technique used in its creation contribute to its artistic and collectible value.
