Literature regarding this artwork: Krystyna Matyjaskiewicz, James Tissot, Phaidon Press & Barbican Art Gallery, London, 1984, no. 86, p. 115 (ill.).
Throughout his career, Tissot painted and etched very few nudes, and his understanding of anatomy was none too good. This print is one of three drypoints of nude young women, crowned with laurel leaves, holding large plaques, which were trials for a frontispiece to Tissot’s portfolio of ten etchings, published in 1876-77; the artist finally settled on a different subject for the frontispiece, “L’Auberge des Trois Corbeaux” (W. 29).
