A framed colour mezzotint engraving dated 1923 depicts a woman with dark curly hair in a white dress with a blue sash against a landscape and curtain background. Created in the Georgian Revival style, the piece comprises paper, glass, and giltwood materials in gold and cream colours, featuring a beaded frame moulding, a pencil artist signature, and an embossed blindstamp. The artwork measures 54.1 cm high, 46.4 cm wide, and 2.5 cm deep. The original gesso moulded frame holds a glazed cream mount with wash lines, enclosing the hand-coloured print engraved by Sydney E. Wilson and published by Vicars Brothers of Bond Street. The portrait hangs suitably above the mantel in a living room, study, or hallway, adding a traditional aesthetic to domestic interior spaces.

FAQs

A mezzotint is an intaglio printmaking technique originating in the 17th century that produces rich, tonal gradations rather than sharp lines. Artists roughen a copper plate with a rocker tool and scrape areas smooth to create light and dark shades, often inked in multiple colours during printing.

Mezzotints from this era were typically printed on heavy rag paper using oil-based inks. They were presented in card mounts with decorative ink wash lines and fitted into glazed giltwood frames with beaded moulding.

Authentic artist proofs generally feature a pencil signature in the lower margin outside the image area, a distinct plate mark impressed into the paper, and often an embossed publisher blindstamp in the bottom corner.

A traditional framed portrait print can be hung above a console table or mantelpiece to create a focal point, or combined with contemporary abstract artwork on a gallery wall to provide tonal contrast.

Keep prints away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent fading and foxing. Ensure the artwork is mounted using acid-free archival backing boards and protected behind UV-filtering glass.
