Intérieur d'un Malade (Interior of a Sick Person) 1839 - 1885

Rodolphe Bresdin's "Intérieur d'un Malade" (Interior of a Sick Person) is a powerful black and white etching that depicts a figure in a bed, likely a sick person. The composition is highly detailed, with a strong focus on the figure, rendered in a gestural, expressive style. The use of cross-hatching and thick, dark lines create a sense of depth and drama, suggesting the weight of the figure's illness. The artist was known for his detailed and often unsettling imagery, and this print reflects his unique artistic vision. The etching is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
