Jean-Jacques Henner (1829-1905) - La nymphe qui pleure

Etching with aquatint by Auguste Delâtre, 1889.

Auguste Delâtre was an accomplished printmaker, and was often commissioned to take drawings from other artists of his day and reinterpret them as etchings, as seen here.  For an article with more information about Delâtre and the time period in which he worked, see the post Keeping Impressionism at Bay from Adventures in the Print Trade.
