La Rixe (The Brawl)
Etching and drypoint, 1885, 420 x 538 mm. (image), Béraldi 349 xi/xi, B. N. Inv. 413.
Superb impression on vellum with good margins outside the image (the platemark is invisible due to the nature of the material), signed in pencil by both Bracquemond and Meissonier; crease marks in the margins and slight dirt, some light ripples in the vellum. Meissonier, whose original painting dates from 1855, was among the most famous and successful academic painters of his time. It is a mark of both Bracquemond's skill and of his wide-ranging interests that he could successfully interpret works by such divergent artists as Meissonier, Delacroix, Moreau and Millet while advising and assisting Manet and being sympathetic to the Impressionists.
