Yet, unlike his contemporary and fellow artist James Ensor, he was not a born engraver. Nevertheless, he recognized the value of the art of engraving. For a long time his graphic oeuvre received little or no attention. His drypoints are few in number but are of exceptional quality. He was regularly commissioned to illustrate literary works. Executed in different printing techniques, his compositions perfectly evoke the melancholy or decadent atmosphere of fin-de-sie`cle literature. His interest in photography led him to produce tinted and enhanced platinum prints of his own work in limited editions. Published on the occasion of the major Khnopff retrospective organised by the Petit Palais in Paris, running until 17 March 2019, Pandora Publishers has issued the first catalogue raisonne by Xavier Tricot of Fernand Khnopff's prints and enhanced platinum prints.
