The Silk Gown (La robe de soie)

About this work

This print shows a woman sitting in a chair, wrapped in a heavy fur coat. She holds a small dog on her lap, smiling slightly. The background is dark and blurry, with just a hint of a lamp and a window. The artist used a rough, sketchy style to show texture—notice how the fur looks almost three-dimensional. This isn’t a smooth painting; it’s made with etched lines and scratches. Next, look up etching to see how artists create these detailed prints.
