EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Portrait of Alfred Cadart" by Marcellin Gilbert Desboutin, a renowned French engraver. Created in 1875 using the drypoint technique on tan laid paper, this artwork measures 45x29.2 cm and is currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago. The portrait depicts Alfred Cadart himself, captured in a head and shoulders composition with a direct gaze that exudes confidence and artistic prowess. As an engraver, Cadart's contribution to the art world was significant, making this piece all the more meaningful. Desboutin's masterful use of plate tone adds depth and texture to the print, enhancing its visual impact. The monochromatic palette emphasizes the intricate details of Cadart's features while maintaining an air of timelessness. Through this image, we are transported back to late 19th-century France when artistic expression flourished. It serves as a testament to both Desboutin's skill as an artist and Cadart's influence within his field. Acquired from Marguerita S. Ritman's estate by The Art Institute of Chicago, this print holds historical value beyond its aesthetic appeal. Its presence in their collection ensures that future generations can appreciate not only Desboutin's talent but also honor Alfred Cadart’s lasting legacy as an esteemed engraver.
