About this work

Overview

Le Soir meme.. is an etching and drypoint print created by Félix-Hilaire Buhot in 1878 on laid paper.

Subject & Meaning

The print depicts a crowded bridge scene with people and horses, set against a turbulent sky. The border areas feature small, chaotic vignettes of figures dancing, fighting, or floating.

Technique & Style

Buhot employed sharp tools to etch and drypoint the metal plate, producing deep black lines that contrast with the light background. The technique allowed for rich ink retention in the grooves, creating a textured, high-contrast image.
