"Ma Grand'tante" (My Great-Aunt) is an etching by the Belgian artist Félicien Rops (1833–1898), who was known for his erotic and satirical artwork. Created in the late 19th century, this piece is part of Rops's broader body of work that often explored and challenged the social mores of his time through a mix of the macabre, the erotic, and the irreverent.

The etching depicts an elderly woman, presumably the artist's great-aunt, in a domestic interior. The work is characterized by Rops's detailed line work and his ability to convey texture and depth through the etching medium. "Ma Grand'tante" is often interpreted as a commentary on the decay of the aristocracy and the hypocrisy of societal norms, themes that are recurrent in Rops's oeuvre.

Félicien Rops was associated with the Symbolist movement and had ties with literary figures such as Charles Baudelaire and the Decadent movement. His work often courted controversy due to its explicit content and dark humor. "Ma Grand'tante," while perhaps less provocative than some of his other pieces, nonetheless exemplifies Rops's skill in using portraiture to critique the values of his time.

As with many of Rops's etchings, "Ma Grand'tante" is collected and exhibited by various art institutions and is studied within the context of both Belgian art history and the broader Symbolist movement. The etching continues to be of interest to scholars for its technical mastery and for the insight it provides into the cultural and social landscape of late 19th-century Europe.
