"The Good Samaritan, " Rare Mezzotint with Male Nude by Robert Charles Peter

About the Item

This extraordinary and rare mezzotint by Robert Charles Peter, a British artist, depicts a nude male figure, beaten and worn, being comforted and helped by the proverbial Good Samaritan. The artist's mastery of the human figure, in all its beauty and pathos, is evident here. Peter was a painter and printmaker born in Southwark, London, and was a member of various graphic institutions in London. It is signed on the lower left in pencil. This print was reproduced in a portfolio of images by Arthur Tooth and Sons in 1925.

Unsigned plates from the books he illustrated are not uncommon, but signed prints such as this are rare. This image was an illustration for "Wild Pilgrimage" by Ward, published by Harrison Smith...
