Seated female Greek sculpture
Printmaker: Unknown
Etching? on laid paper. A small, probably experimental, etching with areas where the ink has been left to pool as the plate has not been sufficiently wiped. A platemark (or crease?) is visible just above the lower edge of the paper. A seated female figure in Greek drapery - probably a piece of Greek statuary - facing front with her right arm absent and her left arm raised above her head. Her right knee is raised as her foot rests upon a block and her left leg is positioned slightly behind. This print should be compared with P.14879-R, which employs a similar technique and is signed in scratched letters by the amateur printmaker, Thomas Orde.
