About this work

This 1895 etching by Valère Bernard, titled Cauchemar (Nightmare), shows a wide-eyed, screaming child beneath a clawed lizard-like creature perched on its shoulders. Coiled serpents and reptilian forms writhe below, set against a dark hatched background with bright radiating rays. The dense cross-hatching and stark tonal contrast give the print its unsettling, dreamlike atmosphere.
