A provocative image of the femme fatale, Guérin’s siren peers menacingly from her watery lair. L’Estampe moderne was a subscription-based publication promoting original prints for collectors. The variety of styles and subjects available in its pages underscores Roger Marx’s observation about the efflorescence of the medium. Published in L'Estampe moderne, Numéro 21, janvier 1899
