Cover for Eaux Fortes Nouvelles 1879

François-Nicolas Chifflart’s 1879 etching, *Cover for Eaux Fortes Nouvelles*, depicts a winged woman in a dramatic pose, holding aloft a billowing drapery. The figure appears to be a personification of art, and the inscription at the bottom of the image indicates that this was a cover for a publication of etchings. This artwork demonstrates the artist’s mastery of the etching technique, creating a striking image with bold lines and subtle tonal variations. The work can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and is an example of a fine print, often collected by art enthusiasts.
