About the Item
The Dancer (Anaïs). 1925. Etching. Fletcher catalog 52 state viii. 9 3/4 x 6 1/16 (Sheet 14 1/4 x 10 1/2). Edition 107. An extremely rich proof printed on cream 'MADE IN ENGLAND' cream laid paper. Illustrated: Salaman, Modern Masters of Etching: Brockhurst; Print Collector's Quarterly 21 (1934): 319; and Fine Prints of the Year, 1926. Signed in pencil and annotated "1st state G.L.B." in pencil.
Housed in a 20 x 16-inch archival mat, suitable for framing
The model is the artist's first wife, Anaïs Folin.
Born in Birmingham, the artist attended the Birmingham School of Art from the age of 12. Regarded as a 'young Botticelli' ,his drawing skills won him a gold medal and scholarship at the Royal Academy Schools in 1913. He studied in England, France and Italy, where he was profoundly influenced by Piero della Francesca, Botticelli and Da Vinci.
During the 1920s Brockhurst became an etcher, focusing primarily on female portraits and using his wife as his model. Coolness, technical perfection, and overt classicism mark both his printmaking style and his painting manner

Gerald Leslie Brockhurst
(b Birmingham, 31 Oct. 1890; d Franklin Lakes, NJ, 4 May 1978). British-born painter and etcher who became an American citizen in 1949. Precociously gifted, an excellent draughtsman, and a fine craftsman, Brockhurst won several prizes at the Royal Academy Schools and went on to have a highly successful career as a society portraitist, first in Britain and then in the USA, where he settled in 1939, working in New York and New Jersey. He is best known for his portraits of glamorous women, painted in an eye-catching, dramatically lit, formally posed style similar to that later associated with Annigoni. As an etcher Brockhurst is remembered particularly for Adolescence (1932), a powerful study of a naked girl on the verge of womanhood staring broodingly into a mirror—one of the masterpieces of 20th-century printmaking.

L'Eventail (The Fan)
By Gerald Leslie Brockhurst
Located in New York, NY
Gerald Brockhurst, L’Eventail (The Fan), etching, 1926, signed in pencil, from the edition of 76. Reference: Fletcher 22, Wright 22. In good condition, on cream laid paper with margins (a thin spot inherent in paper lower margin near edge), the matrix pristine, archival matting.
A fine impression of this small but impressive demonstration of Brockhurst’s mastery of etching.
The woman carrying the fan is of course Brockhurst’s favorite model, at least at this time, his wife Anais. She wears an embroidered coat which allows Brockhurst to display his capacity to capture complex textures with the etching needle – much as his predecessor Wenzel Hollar used women’s furs...
