I just discovered, quite by chance, that one of Félix Bracquemond’s famous students, Léon Coutil, apparently created an etching based on the likeness of his wife, Marie Bracquemond. It is known as La Comédie. It’s undated, but it was possibly created sometime around 1900, and is mentioned as being for sale in the Illustrated Catalogue No. 10 of Etchings and Engravings on page 11. This is a bit unusual to me, as I haven’t seen this mentioned anywhere in the secondary literature. It would be wonderful to track down an image or illustration of this work if it is at all possible. My Google-Fu is a bit rusty and out of practice and I can’t find anything. Viriditas (talk) 00:09, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

Ces deux dernières personnifications, surtout, avaient une grâce particulière, la Comédie, vigoureuse et saine, la Danse svelte et légèie, essayant le premier pas, le premier geste rythmé.[2]. fiveby(zero) 17:35, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
