ROPS, Félicien.- Le massage II (Petite planche). Héliogravure en noir reprise à l'eau-forte, 191 x 140 mm, japon à grandes marges (450 x 316 mm). Retenue par les coins latéraux sur f. de support.
Planche érotique dont le sujet a été plusieurs fois traité et décliné en dessin par Rops et dont la gouache fait partie de la série des "Cent légers croquis" destinée au collectionneur Noilly. De ces dessins, il a été fait diverses héliogravures par Evely, de divers formats, retouchées ou non par Rops. Une de celles-ci était même destinée à l'illustration des "Sonnets du docteur Camuset", mais le projet n'aboutit pas.
Rare épreuve : signée au crayon rouge sous le champ dans la cuvette, elle est enrichie de la main de Rops d'un sonnet à l'encre de Chine, daté de Paris, novembre 1884 et extrait de ceux pré-cités du docteur Camuset (est-ce lui qui est représenté sur la planche ?).
Rare état de l'hélio non retouchée. Il n'est pas répertorié par Rouir ni Exsteens : Rouir 723.1/2 et Exsteens 359.1/3 donnent les mêmes dimensions pour le cuivre et les biseaux mais le sujet ne correspond pas. Il est quasi identique à celui reproduit sous Rouir 710.1/2 mais le cuivre est réduit et à l'exception des taches plus accentuées dans la partie supérieure.
