Le Christ aux outrages (The Mocking of Christ)

Executed in drypoint, the work features designs scratched directly into a plate. Notably, Forain employed a stylistically anachronistic approach, adopting an antiquated aesthetic in a piece from the early 20th century.

Created in 1909, the print's provenance and exhibition history are not detailed here, though it is characteristic of Forain's later work in a career marked by commercial success uncommon among his Impressionist contemporaries.

While Forain is often associated with Impressionism, this work's style deviates from the typical expectations of early 20th-century art, highlighting the artist's eclectic approach across mediums like oils, watercolor, and printmaking.
