ETCHING

Baigneuse / standing bather, to mid-thighs (Stella 23). Original etching, c. 1910. Published in various editions of Duret's Manet and the French Impressionists, 1910. Stella notes "some reprints . . . in limited editions," of which this is one. Renoir's basic design still remains, but the dark tones are being over-inked to add some contrast with a resulting a loss of detail in the hair.
