Exhibition of etchings

Obach & Co · 1903 · London : Obach & Company · 1 picture

An 1903 exhibition catalogue published in London by Obach & Company, a dealer's showcase of etchings, most likely by James McNeill Whistler given the subject listing. The single picture is a loose, sketchy etched portrait of a smiling man in a wide-brimmed hat, with hatched lines suggesting shadow and a designer might take from it the expressive economy of drypoint-style marks built from scratchy, directional strokes.
