Méphisto en Martha 1874

"Méphisto en Martha" is an etching created in 1874 by the Belgian artist Willem Geets. The artwork depicts a scene with a man in a historical costume standing next to a woman, potentially a wife or a loved one, near a wooden fence. Geets's work, while not widely recognized, showcases his talent for capturing nuanced emotions and creating intimate narratives in his etchings. The use of fine lines and delicate shading in this small-scale artwork, measuring 198 mm in height and 127 mm in width, enhances the sense of intimacy and detail in the scene.
