Margherite: two impressions, from La Ballade des dames hors du temps

Two aquatints with etching by Man Ray present dual impressions of a delicate floral form, one rendered as a unique impression in vibrant orange, showcasing the artist's playful experimentation with color and printmaking. Created for *La Ballade des dames hors du temps*, the works reflect Man Ray's Surrealist sensibility, blurring the boundary between botanical representation and dreamlike abstraction. Printed on Arches paper with full margins, the pair demonstrates the technical refinement and poetic vision that defined his celebrated career as both visual artist and avant-garde innovator.
