Henri Le Riche

Portrait of an Old Woman

Henri Le Riche's original etching and drypoint, Portrait of an Old Woman is a fine example of the portrait art created by this French artist around 1910. His etched art is notable for its attention to form and detail and for its fine use of light and space. Such is the case here, where in Portrait of an Old Woman, the artist brilliantly concentrates upon the two most telling signs of age -- the hands and the face. This etching is printed upon very thin China paper with the 'Lafuma Navarre' watermark, with large, full margins as published in Paris around 1910 and is signed in pencil by Henri Le Riche to the lower right.
