Mortimer Luddington Menpes, RI, RBA, RE, Australian / British 1855-1938- The young mother, 1911; pencil, watercolour and bodycolour heightened with white on paper, signed 'M.L. Menpes.' (upper right), 22 x 15.3 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: Menpes was an Australian-born British artist who worked in part as an illustrator, and who was known especially for his drawings and etchings. He studied under James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834-1903), whose influence is evident in his embrace of the medium of etching, indeed with Menpes himself serving as a central figure in the etching revival of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Menpes’s output is defined by his small-scale, highly observational drawings, of which the present work is a particularly charming example. This work demonstrates the artist’s sensitive approach, using a plain background to focus the entirety of the viewer’s attention on the two figures.品相报告: Please refer to department for condition report
