American, (1873-1943)

Lithograph, circa 1939, edition 54. 14 1/16 x 17 in. Initialed on the stone, lower left. Signed and titled in pencil. This is a fine, luminous impression in fine condition.

This exquisite print is illustrated and discussed on pages 48 and 49 of, Imprinting the South, Southern Printmakers and Their Images of the Region 1920s-1940s, by Lynn Barstis Williams (2007). She was a direct descendant of Charles Wilson Peale and studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Hergesheimer lived and worked in Nashville and specialized in lithography. Her prints are rather uncommon.       SOLD
