Description

Herbert Thomas Dicksee was a British painter born in 1862. He was best known for his sensitive depictions of animals including dogs, lions and tigers. Dicksee’s family was well-ingrained into the art world; his father was an artist and his nephew, Sir Frank Dicksee, was the president of the Royal Academy in London from 1924–1928. Herbert went on to study at the Slade School of Art in London on a scholarship, and his first painting was exhibited in 1881. Many of Dicksee’s most famous works were transcribed into prints and etchings published by Klackner of London. He died on February 20, 1942 in Hampstead, England.

"Ready" is a lovely example. An original etching signed by the artist lower left in pencil, it measures 14"x 22" and is framed giving an overall size of 25"x 32".

FAQs

An original etching is a printmaking technique where an artist scratches a design into a metal plate covered with a waxy, acid-resistant ground, which is then submerged in acid to bite the lines before being inked and pressed onto paper.

These works typically utilised copper or zinc plates, high-grade etching inks, and heavy-weight cotton or rag paper specifically manufactured for fine art printmaking.

Authentic period etchings typically display a distinct plate mark indentation in the paper, tonal variations from hand-inking, and paper stock consistent with the early 20th century, unlike flat modern digital reproductions.

Mounting the piece with acid-free museum-grade matting and framing it in a simple dark wood or gilded frame preserves the artwork while allowing it to complement both traditional and modern schemes.

To prevent fading and degradation, keep the artwork out of direct sunlight, maintain stable humidity levels, and ensure it is framed behind UV-protective glazing.
