Catalogue of an exhibition of etchings and dry-points by Muirhead Bone
This 1919 exhibition catalogue from Knoedler's New York galleries presents etchings and dry-points by the Scottish artist Muirhead Bone, shown to American collectors and dealers. The picture is a dark, tonal etching of a bearded man in a soft hat seated at a desk with loose papers, rendered in dense crosshatched lines with strong window light on the left. A designer could take from it the expressive use of heavy hatching to build shadow and a direct, portrait-style composition.
