Análisis artístico

Scene inspired by a composition from Notebook B . Old woman begging alms from a woman (B.6). And used as a preparatory drawing for the etching of Caprice no. 16. God forgive her: And it was her mother.

Elaborately executed in pen, it is completed with washes that help to concentrate the light on the important points, the young woman's face and torso and the old woman's back. It depicts a girl, perhaps a prostitute, but with her arrogant youth and beauty she is ashamed at the sight of her destitute, elderly mother.

The composition is identical in both the preparatory drawing and the print.

The drawing shows the imprint of the foil print, left by the pressure of the press during the intaglio process on the 218 x 153 mm copper plate, pencil strokes on the reverse and vertical stippling.
