Leaving Home is a superb etching and drypoint on ivory-colored and laid paper, realized by Edmond Ramus, after Franch Holl, as the inscription on plate and out of the image report. On the higher-margin ''Exposition Universelle de 1878''. Printed by A. Salmon, this original print represents a crowded waiting room before a departure, better represents all the feelings, thoughts, postures, lost hopes of a departure after leaving home. With deep dramatic and vibrant blacks, and intense greys, sophisticated draperies and deep shadows, this artwork although his intensity has something of deep humanity, and is incredibly modern! A touching original print for your sophisticated private collection. In good conditions, except for a usual burnished paper and a diffused foxing does not affect the image, also the edges.
