Subject matters centered around the river Loing, just south of the forest of Fontainebleau, where Bernard and his brother spent a lot of time with his paternal family. In his prints barges progress slowly on the river or lazily wait for the next leg of the journey. The people who populated this artery of early 20th century commerce also feature prominently. In these early prints Bernard Boutet de Monvel also depicted older sitters, which he clearly respected and admired.

Morane mentions a single early state before aquatint. He had however most certainly not known of our early state, which already has some aquatint added. The plate was, however, completely worked over beyond this early state.

He obviously benefited from seeing the work of Manet, Pissarro, Bracquemond, and Guérard, but he must, in our opinion, be regarded as an underappreciated member of the Impressionist reimagination of the art of etching. The finesse of the shading of this etching is one each of the aforementioned artists would have been proud to achieve. The artist’s choice of naming a subject we only see from behind is also marvelously evocative and narrative. Why is she at the door? Is she speaking to someone, or waiting for this person? Is she hoping to get out, or did she just come and take in the sunrise? Or is it a sunset? Maybe the smoke from the hearth just stung her eyes and she’s breathing in fresh air. We get to make up so many stories of who \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAngélique\u003c\/em\u003e is, and what this window to her world represents for her.
