"La Liseuse Au Moulage" and "La Lecture Meditee" are color aquatints by the French printmaker and painter Manuel Robbe (1872–1936), known for his contributions to the Belle Époque style and his innovative techniques in color printmaking. Robbe's works often depict intimate scenes of daily life, with a particular focus on the portrayal of women in private and contemplative moments.

"La Liseuse Au Moulage," which translates to "The Reader at the Plaster Cast," captures a woman engrossed in reading, possibly surrounded by artworks or in an artist's studio, suggested by the presence of a plaster cast. The use of light and shadow, as well as the intricate details of the print, reflect Robbe's skill in creating atmospheric depth and texture, which was characteristic of his work.

"La Lecture Meditee," or "The Meditative Reading," similarly features a female subject deeply absorbed in a book. This work exemplifies Robbe's fascination with the quietude of solitary activities and his ability to convey a sense of peaceful introspection through his art. The precise application of color in his aquatints adds a rich, painterly quality to the prints, setting Robbe's work apart from that of his contemporaries.

Both pieces are exemplary of Robbe's mastery of the aquatint process, a technique that allows for the creation of tonal effects resembling watercolor washes. His method involved applying colored inks à la poupée (with a doll), a meticulous process where different inks are applied to the plate with a ball-shaped wad of fabric, allowing for subtle gradations of color within a single print.

Manuel Robbe's contributions to the graphic arts were significant during his lifetime, and his prints remain highly regarded for their technical innovation and aesthetic charm. "La Liseuse Au Moulage" and "La Lecture Meditee" are notable examples of his work that continue to be studied and appreciated for their beauty and technical proficiency in the field of fine art printmaking.
