Leaving the Bath - Original Etching by Edgar Degas
Original electric
crayon, etching, drypoint, and aquatint by Edgar Degas, printed in black ink on thick wove creme paper. Titled Leaving
the Bath, Degas' work explores space and uses experimental techniques, including an electric crayon to create its
texture. This work is classic Degas, as it captures the subject in motion from a rear view.
The original copper
plate was likely executed in 1879-80. This impression is of Reed and Shapiro's twenty-second state after cancellation of the plate. It
was printed as part of Ambroise Vollard's 1919 edition of ~150 impressions from Degas' cancelled plates. Catalog
