THOMAS HART BENTON
Prayer Meeting.

Lithograph, 1949. 230x313 mm; 9x12 1/4 inches, full margins. Edition of 300. Signed in pencil, lower right. Published by the University of Missouri, Kansas City. A superb impression with strong contrasts.

Though the total edition is 300 according to Fath, we have found only 15 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.
