Paul Emile Becat Nude Women Dancing with Tiger Etching 1.jpg

Paul Emile Becat Drypoint Etching of Greek Ritual Nude Dancer with Tiger

From the same collection as the previous entry.
The Artist appears to be the French Artist Paul Emile Becat (2 February 1885 – 1 January 1960 in Paris). Becat specialized from 1933 in the technique of drypoint in his erotic works.

Again, attributed to Becat, this drypoint etching is from the same series as the other etching posted.
The women naked dance with branches in front of a couple in a shell kissing. Much like the Birth of Venus in the shell by Botticelli, the couple kiss inside a clam throne. The Tiger walks behind the women. 

The etching is a very fine drypoint with a firm plate impression on the paper. The paper has the deckle edges and does not appear to have been trimmed. 

Size: 5 9/16 x 7 9/16 inches 
Condition: Very fine with very minimal signs of age and appears to have no visible damage. The lower right part of the page has a small bend. Please see the images for more details.
