About the Item

Arthur B. Davies (1862-1928), Round of Summer (aka Four Figures), soft ground etching, 1919, signed in pencil lower right. Reference: Czestochowski 91, first state (of 3), trial proofs only in this state. With margins, in very rough condition, extensive wrinkling, tape on margins verso (showing through at top margin), soiling (mostly in margins), printed on light wove paper, 7 7/8 x 5 7/8, the sheet 11 x 7 3/8 inches. A good impression of the very rare first state (the only other first state impression recorded is in the Davies estate); the rough condition indicates that this is a trial proof. In later states aquatint was added to cover the figures, foreground, and the tree upper middle; this state is interesting for its playful sketchlike quality.
