    The aquatint of Bride, after the painting of 1912, was printed by Duchamp and his brother Jacques Villon for the Galerie Bernheim-Jeune, Paris, in 1934. Villon, who had been under contract with the gallery since 1922, had produced a series of colored aquatints after the work of such early modern masters as Georges Braque, Paul Cézanne, André Derain, Pablo Picasso, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Here he collaborated with Marcel.
