Leon Kossoff: The Testament of Eudamidas (after Poussin) is a 1998 by Leon Kossoff, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Leon Kossoff made etchings late in life. This 1998 print reworks a Poussin painting, not to copy it but to dig into the lines and shapes. Kossoff kept hundreds of trial proofs. He didn’t stop at the first pull—he carved and re-carved the plate until the drawing felt right. If you like bold lines and repeated tries, look up Kossoff, Leon.
