Pierre Louÿs (1870-1925) gilt neben de Sade, Verlaine und Mirabeau als Meister der erotischen Literatur Frankreichs. "Icart's etchings have a worldwide reputation and it is believed that he created more than 500 in his lifetime. He also illustrated more than 30 books, many highly erotic, and became an accomplished painter. His paintings are more personal, and less commercial, than his etchings and reflect the fact that they were created largely for his own pleasure and not intended for a public audience. He died in Paris in 1950" (Albany Fine Art). - Vereinzelt unbedeutend braunfleckig. Gutes Exemplar.
