Pietà 1910

"Pietà" is a 1910 etching by Jean-Louis Forain, a renowned French artist known for his satirical and poignant depictions of modern life. The print portrays a sorrowful scene, possibly referencing the biblical story of the Lamentation of Christ. Three figures, a man lying down and two women kneeling, are rendered with expressive lines and a sense of deep emotion. The minimalist composition and stark contrasts evoke a sense of tragedy and solemnity, reflecting the artist's keen interest in exploring the human condition.
