About this work
This etching, titled The Poet Robert de Montesquiou and attributed to Albert Besnard, shows a man in profile leaning against a stone balustrade beside a large urn. Dense cross-hatching fills the dark foliage on the left, contrasting with the lighter sky and architectural forms on the right. The print bears the artist's signature in the lower right and a pencilled note reading tirage d'artiste in the lower left.
