ROBERT GWATHMEY
The Hitchhiker.

Color screenprint, 1937. 427x333 mm; 16 3/4x13 1/8 inches, wide margins. Signed in ink, upper left. A superb impression of this extremely scarce, early print.

According to Williams, the edition is unknown but "probably quite small." This color screenprint is based on Gwathmey's earliest surviving painting, completed around 1936, which is now in the Brooklyn Museum of Art, New York. Williams 1.
