Madame Jourdan
Madame Jourdan belongs to the world of European printmaking, working above all in etching and engraving, and her sheets take up playful, quietly ironic subjects drawn from familiar imagery. The archive holds a single example of her printed work, the etching and engraving titled "Pensant-ils à ce mouton? (Are They Thinking of the Sheep)", which conveys her light, observant handling of the medium. Beyond that, the collection offers just this one impression, so her wider output remains known chiefly through the plates and impressions that have survived.
