About this work

Overview

Le Cuivre is a 1895 lithograph by Pierre-Eugène Vibert, printed in black on pink wove paper.

Subject & Meaning

The print depicts a woman in a dark dress sitting on a rocky shoreline, with a ship's hull partially obscured in a foggy harbor behind her. The image is dominated by black and white tones, with the pink paper providing a subtle background hue.

Technique & Style

Vibert employed loose, expressive lines to convey the interplay of light and shadow, creating a moody atmosphere. The lithographic technique allowed for a spontaneous, sketchy style that emphasizes the tonal contrasts in the scene.
