Farveakvatinte, b: 52 h: 56 Alphonse Lafitte (Manuel Robbe)1872-1936. Fra en fransk havn. Farveakvatinte. Signeret. På bagsiden mærkater fra Bruun Rasmussen - Vejle. Made by ‘Alphonse Lafitte’ after own design. Alphonse Lafitte (1872-1936) was one of two pseudonyms used by Manuel Robbe during the 1920’s. The works made as Lafitte are very different from the portraits of ladies he made as Manuel Robbe. He used ‘Lafitte’ mainly for landscapes and marine scenes. He is credited for inventing the sugar aquatint technique, with which he managed to attain a watercolour-like effect that resembled Impressionist painting.
