About the Item

Amberley Boy, No. 2 Etching with stipple, 1928 Signed in pencil lower right (see photo) Signed in the plate in reverse (see photo) Provenance inscription in pencil verso A proof outside the edition of 111 in the published state Provenance: Estate of the Artist Dorrette Borckhurst, 1988 (second wife) Thomas Noe, South Bend Frederick Baker, Inc., Chicago "Amberley is a village and civil parish in the Horsham District of West Sussex, England. It is situated at the foot of the South Downs, 4 miles north of Arundel. Its neighbours are Storrington and West Chiltington. The village is noted for its thatched cottages. Wikipedia" "The Amberley Boy, No.2 has always been one of the most sought after of this gifted etcher’s works. This beautifully handled etched portrait of a coy young peasant lad repeats a subject which Gerald Leslie Brockhurst had attempted in 1920 and which exists in only 3 proof impressions. The earlier etching had been abandoned at an early stage after the artist recorded the plate as “spoiled” (it was destroyed in the printing press). Fortunately, no such mishap occurred to this second plate which proved to be one of the most successful of all of G.L.Brockhurst’s portraits of children. An impression of The Amberley Boy, No.2 was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1929." Courtesy Campbell FA

Portrait of a Boy, 20th Century Graphite on Paper
By James Stroudley
Located in London, GB
James Stroudley 1906 -1985 Portrait of a Boy Graphite on paper Image size: 18 x 14 inches James Stroudley was born in London on 17 June 1906, the son of James Stroudley, showcard and ticket writer. He studied at Clapham School of Art (1923-27) and then at the Royal College of Art (1927-30), where his teachers included Alan Gwynne-Jones and William Rothenstein. As a recipient of the first Abbey Scholarship he was able to spend three years in Italy from 1930, where he absorbed the influences of Giotto and Piero della Francesca, and produced one of the last wholly satisfying decorative cycles by a Rome Scholar of the period. From 1934, he exhibited at the Royal Society of British Artists, and was elected to its membership in the following year. From the Second World War – in which he worked with the Camouflage Unit – Stroudley taught at St Martin’s School of Art and was a visiting lecturer at the Royal Academy Schools. Though he continued to live in London, his later work, exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1955, indicated regular painting trips to Kent and Sussex coasts. However, much of his later work was abstract. In 1971, his former student, Peter Coker...
