The Japonese Woman 1877

"The Japanese Woman" is an etching created in 1877 by the French artist Etienne-Prosper Berne-Bellecour. The print depicts a woman in traditional Japanese clothing standing on a wooden platform. The woman is looking towards the left, her figure is partially obscured by the railing. This artwork, now located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, exemplifies Berne-Bellecour's mastery of depicting figures with subtle expressiveness and nuanced detail.
