La Place Pigalle en 1878 (Place Pigalle in 1878)

Felix Buhot was a French printmaker and painter specializing in etching and aquatint during the late 19th century. Working primarily in black and white, he developed a distinctive technical mastery of tonal gradation and atmospheric effect, often depicting urban scenes and architectural subjects with a delicate, almost impressionistic sensibility. His prints demonstrated an experimental approach to the marriage of etching and aquatint that influenced modern printmaking practice.
