From his frontispiece for "Les Fleurs du Mal" in 1857 to his mesmerizing portrayal of a sunset in "Coucher de soleil" in 1858, Bracquemond's talent shines through. In 1873, he showcased his artistic prowess once again with "La locomotive, " capturing the power and energy of this modern invention. His masterpiece "La Discorde" from 1886 depicts the tumultuous nature of discord while "L'Homme qui court apres la Fortune et celui qui l attend dans son lit" portrays contrasting attitudes towards success. Bracquemond's ability to capture fleeting moments is evident in "La Nuee d'orage, " painted between 1882-84, where he skillfully conveys the intensity of an approaching storm.

His contribution to L'Estampe Moderne includes the exquisite piece called "Woman's Head" from 1897-99, showcasing Bracquemond's attention to detail and mastery over form.
