The image is scratched out of the copper surface with a very finely pointed instrument which creates a heavily burred line. The line is more shallow than the engraved line but its burr is more distinct. The burr is not scraped away. It catches ink and, when printed, creates lines of velvety richness. Because the burr wears down quickly, only a very limited number of good impressions can be pulled. The drypoint engraving is one of the intaglio techniques.  2, fiche 1, Anglais, - dry%2Dpoint%20engraving

Le trait est creusé dans le cuivre avec un instrument bien affûté qui soulève une barbe abondante. Il est moins profond que dans la taille au burin, mais sa barbe, qui sera conservée, est plus forte. Celle-ci a pour fonction de retenir l'encre et, lors de l'impression, elle confère au trait une sorte de velouté. La fragilité de la barbe limite cependant le tirage. La gravure à la pointe sèche est un des procédés de la gravure en creux.  2, fiche 1, Français, - gravure%20%C3%A0%20la%20pointe%20s%C3%A8che
