# Bastille Day, in The Etching Revival

Maurice Prendergast made this in 1892, aged 34. It is now at the Cleveland Museum of Art.

From the museum's label:

> Maurice Prendergast began to make monotypes in the early 1890s while living in Paris, where he was influenced by Edgar Degas's use of the technique. Prendergast focused on scenes from daily life, such as this depiction of crowds filling the streets of the French capital on the country's national holiday.
