Description

This stylish early 20th-century etching by Swedish artist Axel Wallert (1890-1962) depicts a young lady wearing an extraordinary hat.

She’s attending a busy function and dressed to impress in the fashion-a-la-mode. It’s tricky to decipher exactly how the hat is constructed but it’s probably feathered. It’s reminiscent of Edwardian bird hats, which were often extravagant and stacked high with taxidermy.

Axel Wallert was an accomplished etcher and it’s possible that the subject is Sigrid Roos who he married just four years earlier. Sigrid was also an artist.

Signed in the lower right in pencil and also in the plate.

FAQs

An etching is a printmaking technique where lines are incised into a metal plate with acid, which holds ink to be transferred onto paper under high pressure.

Traditional materials typically include handmade rag paper, printing inks, and copper or zinc printing plates, often housed in wood frames with glass.

Authentic pieces often feature a distinct platemark indentation in the paper, natural paper ageing, and genuine artist signatures or inscriptions in pencil.

Pair the monochrome artwork with neutral walls and minimalist frames to create a focal point that highlights the historical character of the piece.

Protect the artwork from direct sunlight, maintain stable humidity levels, and use acid-free mounting materials to prevent paper degradation and fading.
