Icart Style Antique Etching Aquatint
Art Deco NICOL Etching LADY Icart Boudoir Style Framed Fresh from an estate attic. Antique framed aquatint etching. Signed in pencil "Nicol". Oval etching of pretty young lady gathering flowers in her basket, with plate mark around the edge. Frame measures 17-3/4" x 11-3/4". 10-1/2" x 8" on the oval etching area. There does not appear to be any blind stamp, or watermark, but I have not opened this up to see it first hand. The paper appears to be wove with lite texture. There does not appear to be any tears or holes and the coloring is still quite vivid and bright and does not appear to have been subjected to sunlight when displayed. There is no foxing. There is some stains on the border and some on her dress area. I've shown several pictures so you can see the quality and its condition. I've cleaned the front glass, but it really needs to be opened up and cleaned and have the old dingy cardboard backing replaced. I'll leave that to you.

Bert Cobb Etching German Shepherd
Authentic 1920's artist proof etching by the renown listed artist Bert Cobb. Title: Luchs, Portrait of a German Shepherd. Size: 14-1/2" x 11-1/2". Pencil signed by the artist on the bottom right, title is bottom left, and inscribed signature on the etching below the dogs neck. Excluded from the numbering as it was an A.P. This wonderful work of art is original as exhibited, matted, framed, behind glass, paper backing sealed still with Gallery label on back. The work was offered for exhibition by Bert Cobb at the C. W. Kraushaar Art Galleries in the early 1930's. Documentation label on the back reads: from: C.W. Kraushaar Art Galleries, 680 Fifth Avenue, between 4th and 5th Streets, NEW YORK, Established in 1885, "LUCHS", A.P. ETCHING by BERT COBB. This artist proof was printed especially for Bert Cobb and was part of his personal collection. It was one of the first printings pulled off of the fresh "stone" and given to the artist for him to determine the plate finished and ready for production. It would have been one the sharpest and most vivid of any that was produced. The artwork and frame is in very nice condition still overall, with no signs of abuse (tears, stains, holes). There is a small spot by the dog's ear and two more (lighter) lines on the background that appear to be a slight scuff to the paper? On the whole the artwork and matt have a aged (yellowed ) appearance. The overall size of the frame is 15" x 17-1/2". There is some lite scratches to the glass from storage. Original A.P. etchings by Bert Cobb are not offered often. Past gallery offerings and quality auction house results show values of his following run etchings (not artists proofs) valued at $800. to $1400. No results were found for A.P.'s.
