Lot description
Sir Hubert von Herkomer RA (1849-1914) was a Bavarian-born British painter, pioneering film-director, and composer. Though a very successful portrait artist, especially of men, he is mainly remembered for his earlier works that took a realistic approach to the conditions of life of the poor. Despite being a prominent member of Royal Academy of Arts, Royal Watercolour Society, and Royal Society of Painter-Etchers, as well as being on familiar terms with the royal family, Herkomer was never totally accepted by the British establishment, as he was ultimately a victim of the deteriorating relationship between Great Britain and Germany, which he shuttled between, spending most of his summers in Bavaria. Offered here is his 1880 etching called THE WOODCUTTERS. The image is approx. 6-1/4 x 15 in. Plus margins. Paper size is approx. 13 x 19-1/4 in. In excellent condition except for 2 tiny spots to left of image - not a problem. Another of this etching is in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
