Very good impression from the only edition of 100 signed proofs, printed by William Lee-Hankey himself.
Although often thought to be a portrait of the priest of Étaples (the village seen in the background), the character depicted in this drypoint is in fact a local fisherman.
On heavy cream wove paper with full margins. Traces of material tape at extreme corners of sheet, otherwise very good original condition. Image surface excellent. |
