Wikipedia:Reference desk/Archives/Humanities/2022 November 6#Looking for an etching

I just discovered, quite by chance, that one of Félix Bracquemond’s famous students, Léon Coutil, apparently created an etching based on the likeness of his wife, Marie Bracquemond. It is known as La Comédie. It’s undated, but it was possibly created sometime around 1900, and is mentioned as being for sale in the Illustrated Catalogue No. 10 of Etchings and Engravings on [https://books.google.com/books/about/Illustrated_Catalogue_No_10_of_Etchings.html?id=wdo1AAAAMAAJ& page 11]. This is a bit unusual to me, as I haven’t seen this mentioned anywhere in the secondary literature. It would be wonderful to track down an image or illustration of this work if it is at all possible. My Google-Fu is a bit rusty and out of practice and I can’t find anything. Viriditas (talk) 00:09, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

:I interpret the annotation "{{tx|(after Mme. Marie Braquemond)}}" as signifying that the engraving is based on a painting or other artwork by Marie Braquemond, not on a likeness of the artist.  --Lambiam 09:40, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

::::Ah, yes. That's it. I couldn't make the link between them even though Jean-Paul Bouillon provides an image of one of the original ceramic tiles (left panel, a muse representing Comedy, holding a mask up to her face) on p. 235 of Women Impressionists (2008). It's all clear now, thank you to you both. Viriditas (talk) 21:30, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
