About the work

Cleveland Museum of Art Object Description

Marie Bracquemond was among a few women artists within the Impressionist circle. After exhibiting at the Salon from a relatively young age, she married the printmaker Félix Bracquemond and met artists such as Claude Monet and Edgar Degas through his friendship with them. This print is one of about ten etchings created by Bracquemond, who presumably learned the medium from her husband and went on to master it. Here, she presents herself posed in fashionable attire, holding a distinctive fan.
