• Resumen

  • An analysis of a collection of newly discovered drypoint prints by the artist and patron Gustave Caillebotte, which have been in the collection of the Kunstahlle Bremen, Germany, since 1905. The drypoints have an impeccable provenance, and come from the collection of the Bremen merchant Hermann Henrich Meier Junior (1845–1905). Dating from 1877–1878, these pieces are the only documentary evidence existing of Caillebotte's printmaking practice. However, they are not altogether surprising, since many of the Impressionists whom Caillebotte befriended were intensively engaged with the technique of etching and drypoint.
