Herbert Dicksee, Original Etching, "Against the Wind and Open Sky"

1900 - 1920
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.

"Against the Wind and Open Sky" is a fine example of the first state artist's proof etching. It is signed in pencil and measures 10"x 22" and is framed giving an overall size of 17"x 28".

FAQs

Original etchings from this period are intaglio prints produced by incising designs onto a metal plate using acid, allowing artists to create detailed monochrome images with nuanced tonal shading and depth.

Etchings were typically printed using oil-based ink applied to copper or zinc plates, which were then impressed under heavy pressure onto high-quality handmade or rag paper.

Authentic original etchings exhibit a clear plate mark where the metal edge pressed into the paper, visible plate tone or fine line details under magnification, and often feature pencil signatures or artist inscriptions in the lower margins.

Monochrome etchings complement contemporary spaces when mounted in clean wood or minimalist dark frames, functioning well in gallery walls, hallway corridors, or traditional library settings alongside warm wood tones.

Frame paper prints using acid-free mounting materials and UV-protective glass, while keeping them displayed away from direct sunlight, extreme humidity, and fluctuating heat sources to prevent foxing and fading.
