CHILDE HASSAM The Writing Desk.
Etching printed in black on tissue-thin laid Japan paper, 1915. 252x177 mm; 10x7 inches, full margins. Signed with the artist's cypher and inscribed "imp." in pencil, lower right. A superb, well-inked impression of this important etching with strong contrasts and with crisp, partially inky plate edges.
This is a portrait of Hassam's wife, Kathleen Doan, at a desk in the dining room of the Bush-Holley house in Cos Cob. It is one of the artist's largest and most complex etchings. Cortissoz/Clayton 54.
