Ellsworth Woodward
"Nude with Bowl" - Historic Signed Ellsworth Woodward Antique Portrait Etching

c. 1895

About the Item

Many of you clicking on this stunning signed etching with its fantastic Art Nouveau look are probably doing so because you know of Ellsworth Woodward, who with his brother William Woodward around the turn of the 20th century sparked an arts renaissance in the South, the arts and culture in general having been mostly moribund since the dispiriting defeat experienced in the Civil War. I won't bog you down with lots of detail here since all you have to do is Google his name to bring up a wealth of information about him. He is most famous for his leadership of the arts program at Newcomb College in New Orleans, and its famous Newcomb Pottery (these ceramics now bring thousands of dollars - I have two vases in my inventory). This drawing is very likely from a sketchbook; I purchased it as part of a group of Woodward drawings. It is both pencil-signed and initialed in the plate. Own a piece of American history! In generally good shape for its age; slight rippling along right side, 1/16th-inch ding to upper left corner of paper (not on image) - neither of which should distract after matting and framing. Proudly presented by Guy Lyman Fine Art, New Orleans, with our firm guarantee of satisfaction.
