Original Description
Armand Rassenfosse's Nu Aux Bras Levés captivates with its delicate balance of sensuality and restraint, epitomizing the Belle Époque fascination with the female form. Rendered with flowing yet precise lines, the work showcases Rassenfosse's mastery of drypoint engraving—a technique yielding velvety blacks and luminous highlights that amplify the model's sculptural grace. Created circa 1900, the piece reflects Art Nouveau's organic elegance while foreshadowing Deco's streamlined modernity, positioning Rassenfosse as a bridge between 19th-century symbolism and 20th-century graphic innovation. As a protégé of Félicien Rops, he inherited a legacy of celebrating feminine mystique, yet distilled it through his distinctive visual poetry. Today, this rare proof resides among select museum collections, cherished for its technical brilliance and intimate emotional resonance.
For discerning interior settings, Nu Aux Bras Levés commands attention in muted contemporary spaces or period-inspired salons. Frame it in slender blackened oak floated 2" from matte ivory matting to echo its etched precision, preferably displayed at eye level (ideal for its modest 30x40cm scale). Position above a Louis XVI console or against dove-gray walls to let its warm bistre tones glow, or create tension by pairing with Eames-era furniture for an eclectic dialogue. In studies or boudoirs, amplify its intimacy with directed LED spotlights at 2700K, avoiding glare on the delicate surface. For color continuity, introduce accents of patinated bronze or celadon ceramics—hues subtly present in Rassenfosse's crosshatching. Always allow 1.5x the artwork's width as breathing room to honor its contemplative aura.
