E Abot

E Abot is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

French printmakers in the 19th century often made bold, flat portraits for mass audiences, and this artist turned the era’s star actress into a striking image. Their print Mlle Sarah Bernhardt shows the actress in costume, strong lines and dark ink making her face pop against a bare background. If you like the sharp contrast of 19th-century prints, tap to see how the same technique flips a Paris street scene into high-contrast black and white.
