EDITORS COMMENTS
La Grande Femme à la Fourrure, Assise (The Grand Woman in Fur, Seated), is an enchanting etching by the Belgian artist Félicien Rops, created in the late 19th century. This work of art, dated 1878, showcases a woman of elegance and allure, seated in a carriage boot adorned with intricate fur trimmings. The woman's bare legs are crossed demurely, and she wears a garter and stockings, adding to her seductive appeal. Her dress, with its high collar and voluminous sleeves, is a typical representation of the fashion of the time. Félicien Rops, a prominent figure in the Belgian art scene, was known for his provocative and often erotic illustrations. This etching, with its bold lines and intricate details, is a testament to his mastery of the medium. The woman's expression is enigmatic, her eyes downcast, adding to the mystery and allure of the image. The black and white contrast of the etching enhances the dramatic effect, with the white fur and the woman's pale skin standing out against the dark background. The textured lettering at the bottom of the print, written in French, identifies the title and the artist's name. This historic artwork, now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and art of the 19th century. The image invites us to ponder the role of women in society during that era, their sense of style, and the power of art to evoke emotion and intrigue.
