Danaë, mother of Perseus. One can almost imagine the sky-god Zeus watching her dance here.
It was a little startling to open this huge book (some 400mm/16 inches tall) and see this full-page painting reproduced: you can almost feel the brush strokes.
It’s always tempting to increase chorma/saturation & make a more modern-feeling picture!

It’s all very French, an “inhabited initial” by François Emile Ehrmann with a topless woman, i think in a gillotage, a resin-based etching, made by Yves & Barret based on an engraving by Tilly. A team effort! The model who sat for the picture is not named.
Yesterday i posted the crescent moon here.
Etchings tend to feature blunter line-endings than engravings on metal.
