1866
ink
From the collection of Rosenwald Collection
The Train of Maris (Le train de Maris) is a 1866 ink by Félicien Rops, a Romanticism work, held at Rosenwald Collection.
This sketch shows a man sitting under a tree branch, holding a long stick. His hat is tilted, and his face looks tired or lost. The lines are loose and quick, like they were drawn fast—leaves and branches twist around him. The artist used a scratchy method to make the lines pop. The paper has a rough, aged look, almost like the scene itself. Next, check out etching to see how artists like this made marks with acid and needles.
Félicien Victor Joseph Rops (French: ; 7 July 1833 – 23 August 1898) was a Belgian artist associated with Symbolism, Decadence, and the Parisian fin de siècle, and was a member of the Les XX group.
