Act 3, Scene 8, Part 4 of Something or Other Original Etching	Legrand Etching Framed and Matted Using Acid-Free Materials	Signed Louis Legrand in Plate Upper Left

Original etching, aquatint, and drypoint printed in black ink on wove velin paper by Impressionist-era artist Louis Legrand. Final state of eight states originally published in the 1893. Signed in the plate upper left of the image, just over the woman’s head. Titled in the plate lower left edge of the image.

The title (3e Acte, Scene 8, 4e Tableau de je ne sais quoi) translates to Act 3, Scene 8, Part 4 of Something or Other. Apparently a play, the etching shows a dancer napping near the sea under a thistle as a sailboat floats in the background. Edition size is 100 for this state. The etching was one of 13 that was published in Paris by Gustave Pellet in a portfolio titled Little Ones of Ballet. Reference: Victor Arwas, Louis Legrand: Catalogue Raisonne, 2006, A88 on p. 157.
