The Laundresses - Original
Etching by Edgar Degas
Original etching
and aquatint by Edgar Degas, printed in black ink on thick wove creme paper. Titled The Laundresses, Degas' work
explores space and uses experimental techniques, including a wire brush to create its texture. This work is classic Degas,
as it captures women in motion from an unusual perspective.
The original copper plate was executed in
1879-80. This is
a fine impression of Reed and Shapiro's fourth 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 raisonne reference:
Reed and Shapiro, Edgar Degas: The Painter as Printmaker, 48. Adhemar and Cachin, Degas: The
