DESCRIPTION:
|
A fine atmospheric impression. Reference: Morse 113. In good condition (tiny fox mark lower margin center, faintest pale time staining) with margins. Bellows created a number of portraits of the women in his life wearing black hats, and several of Emma in various poses; she can also be seen wearing a black hat (surely this one) in the Tennis Tournament. Here, she has a plaintive expression, set off by the spectacular patterning of her garments. In our view, The Black Hat is Bellows's finest portrait in lithography.
Your inquiries about this and other fine prints (including our several other Bellows prints) are always welcome.
