About the Item
A nostalgic image of a bucolic farmyard and thatched cottage, hearkening to a bygone era.
c 1920. Etching with drypoint on laid watercolor paper with deckle edges, and an indiscernible partial watermark in the upper-left corner, 5 7/8 x 7 3/4 inches, (149 x 197 mm), full margins. Signed in pencil in the lower right margin. In excellent condition with signs of extremely minor mat and age tone. It appears that the sheet may have been cleaned by expert hands in a professional restoration setting.
An unknown inventory label appears on the mat back which erroneously states the title as being "The Farm Lane," however, an impression of this work, which is signed and titled "Ruff's Farm" in the artist's hand, may be found in the permanent collection of the Delaware Art Museum, object No. 1940-11.276.
Little is known about Sydney Litten. He studied at the Royal College of Art with Frank Short, and specialized in landscapes and architectural subjects. He exhibited at the Royal Academy (RA) and the New English Art Club (NEAC). He did the majority of his work in Spain and Italy. 51 of his prints are recorded in the annual Fine Prints of the Year starting in 1926 and ending in 1935. Like Whistler and McBey he did his etchings in series such as his Thames images and two Venice Sets of four prints each, done in 1928. Venice was the subject for fifteen etchings, exhibited until 1935, at which time Litten appears to have quit etching.
