THOMAS HART BENTON (1889-1975)


Prayer Meeting.
Lithograph. 227x313 mm; 9x12 1/4 inches, wide margins. Edition of 300. Signed and dedicated in pencil, lower margin. Published by the University of Missouri, Kansas City. 1949.

A very good impression of this rare lithograph.

Though the total edition is 300 according to Fath, we have found only 16 impressions at auction in the past 30 years, indicating that the intended edition of 300 was not fully realized and is likely much smaller. Fath 73.
