Notes |
(Text from 'From Manet to Toulouse-Lautrec', BM 1978, cat.21) One of two versions made after a single portrait; for the silhouette version, see 1949,0411.3339. There seems to be no way of telling which of the two versions was made first. Neither was published until the edition of 1884 after Manet's death. The format which is usually employed for cataloguing prints only recognizes differences of state as defined by alterations on the stone or plate. This however - as is obvious - will very rarely be adequate to capture the full complexity of the printing history of a stone. This lithograph provides a case in point. It has always been celebrated as the best example of Manet's technique of enlivening a rich black surface by scraping and gouging the stone. But the Cleveland Museum of Art possesses an impression of the first state (before letters) where there is very delicate modelling on the right side of the face. This has disappeared in the 1884 edition. Probably it went in the course of preparing the stone for that edition. If so there would exist examples of the first state but without the modelling (i.e. trial proofs of 1884). The Victoria and Albert Museum possesses a 'first state' printed on simili-Japan; but the very poor quality of impression shows that it is later than the 1884 edition, and that the lettering has been removed. |
