George Woolliscroft Rhead A Portrait of a Pensive Woman in a Head Scarf: An Etching by George Rhead1890-1910
1890-1910
About the Item
This is an etched portrait of a pensive woman wearing a detailed cloth head scarf by George Woolliscroft Rhead (1854-1920). It may be entitled "A Fisher Wife", but this can not be confirmed. The artist has managed to create an air of mystery about this woman. The viewer can't help but wonder what she is thinking and what is going on to her right that has drawn her attention. Although created in the late 19th or early 20th century, the style resembles that of a 17th or 18th century old master artist. George Rhead was an English painter, etcher and designer of stained glass and ceramics.
The print is printed on thick cream-colored paper and presented in an antiqued gold-colored wood frame with a ribbed detail and a tan faux grain mat. The frame measures 19.07" x 15.5" x .63". The print is in excellent condition.

- The Gift of the Magi: An 18th C. Religious Engraving by Vale, After CalmaratLocated in Alamo, CAThis is a very rare early 18th century old master religious themed engraving entitled "Les Mages...Trouverent l'Enfant avec Marie sa Mere, et se prosternant entere ils l'adorent Puis ouvrant leurs tresors ils tuy offrirent pour present de lor de l'encens et de la myrrhe" by S. Vale after Calmaret, published in Paris by Pierre Drevet (1663-1738). The scene depicts the Magi bowing before Jesus, who is held by his mother Mary, and bringing him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh to demonstrate their adoration and respect.

A cattle stall and buildings are in the background and a crown and scepter are dropped in the foreground, symbolically demonstrating that these nobles place Jesus above their titles and rank. Little is known about the artist Calmarat or the engraver S...Category
