CHILDE HASSAM The Writing Desk.
Etching on antique cream laid paper, 1915. 252x177 mm; 10x7 inches, full (?) margins. Signed with the artist's cypher and inscribed "imp." in pencil, lower right, and titled (by another hand ?) in pencil, lower left. Indiscernible proprietary watermark. A superb, well-inked impression with strong contrasts and with selective wiping, leaving a light film of ink on the drapes, on the desk and behind the chair and clean wiped to highlight the window panes and the figure and with crisp, inky plate edges. Cortissoz/Clayton 54.
