GEORGE BELLOWS
Business-Men's Bath

Lithograph on thin, cream wove paper, 1923. 302x432 mm; 11 7/8x 17 inches, full margins. Edition of 43. Signed and titled in pencil, lower margin, and signed by the printer, Bolton Brown, in pencil, lower left. A superb, warm impression of this scarce lithograph.

Bellows made two other lithographs on similar themes in 1916 and 1917, Business-Men's Class and The Shower-Bath respectively (Mason 20 and 45). All hearken back to scenes from his stay at the YMCA when he first arrived in New York in 1904. Mason 145.
