THOMAS HART BENTON Prayer Meeting (Wednesday Evening).
Lithograph, 1949. 230x313 mm; 9x12 1/4 inches, full margins. Edition of 300. Signed and titled "Wednesday Evening" in pencil, lower margin. Published by the University of Missouri, Kansas City. A very good impression with strong contrasts.
Though the proposed edition according to Fath is 300, we have found fewer than 10 impressions at auction in the past 25 years. Which leads to the assumption that the intended edition of 300 was never reached and is in fact much smaller. Fath 73.
