Walter Sickert, R.A., A.R.E. 1860-1942.
La Gaité Montparnasse. c. 1919. Etching. Bromberg 186.iii. 5 3/4 x 4 1/4 (sheet 9 3/16 x6 3/4). No stated lifetime edition. David Strang printed 19 posthumous impressions for the Sickert Trust (1945-47). This is proof #7. A rich impression printed on cream laid paper. An extremely scarce image.

The image is of a music-hall interior. In 1907, Sickert did three paintings of La Gaité; however the etching is unrelated to them.
