Medium: drypoint

MUIRHEAD BONE
Scottish, (1876-1953)

Drypoint, 1925, Dodgson 412 (xxix/XXIX), total edition 160 (83 in this, the final state) 12 5/8 x 8 1/16 in. Signed in the plate, lower left and signed in pencil. This is a superb impression of the final state. The paper is a sturdy cream colored Japanese with full margins. Fine condition. Inscribed "B" in the upper right corner margin by the artist indicating a very fine impression. This impression is also inscribed to the left below the image, "GB". (This is very unusual and probably stands for Gertrude Bone, the artist's wife.) As the artist has stated, "This dry-point was made, in England, from a sketch done on the spot (Ronda, Spain) Good Friday night, 1925." (See page 22 of Dry points by Muirhead Bone by M.Knoedler & Company, Inc., 14 East 57th Street, New York, 1932.) This exceptional, luminous impression is from the collection of Alan and Marianne Schwartz (Detroit).       SOLD
