"La Chasse à la Femelle" (The Hunt for the Female) is a provocative etching by the Belgian artist Félicien Rops (1833–1898), who was renowned for his erotic and often macabre artworks. Created in the late 19th century, this piece exemplifies Rops's fascination with the themes of sexuality, death, and the diabolical, which frequently intersected in his oeuvre. The etching is part of Rops's larger body of work that explores the nature of human desire and the societal attitudes towards women and sexuality during the fin de siècle period.

The composition of "La Chasse à la Femelle" is striking, featuring a surreal and nightmarish scene in which a group of male figures, some of whom take on a demonic appearance, are depicted in the midst of a frenzied pursuit of a female figure. The work is imbued with a sense of movement and chaos, as the hunters appear to be driven by an insatiable and primal urge. The female, often interpreted as a symbol of both desire and victimhood, is central to the narrative, reflecting the complex and often contradictory views of women prevalent at the time.

Rops's technique in this etching is characterized by his intricate line work and attention to detail, which serve to heighten the intensity of the scene. The use of chiaroscuro, or the contrast between light and dark, further accentuates the dramatic and unsettling quality of the image. "La Chasse à la Femelle" is considered an important work within Rops's portfolio, as it encapsulates the artist's skill in conveying the darker aspects of human nature through his art.

As a member of the avant-garde Symbolist movement, Rops's work often challenged the boundaries of acceptable subject matter and was both celebrated and condemned for its explicit content. "La Chasse à la Femelle" is no exception, as it continues to provoke discussion and analysis among art historians and critics. The etching remains a testament to Rops's legacy as an artist who dared to explore the taboo and shine a light on the hidden corners of the human psyche.
