"Calvary (first plate)," a 1902 etching by French artist Jean-Louis Forain, depicts a somber scene of men carrying a ladder, while three women stand in mourning in the distance. The work's use of delicate lines and a pale background create a sense of isolation and despair, reflecting Forain's interest in social commentary and the darker aspects of human nature. This piece exemplifies Forain's masterful use of etching, showcasing his skill in capturing both emotional nuance and physical detail, with a distinctly modern sensibility.
