About the Item

This is such an interesting image. Are there 'Four women'? Is the head on the upper right from a hat store or is she another person in the scene. And what about the African-American woman who is clearly at the center of the image? She's the only one with a frank, outward stare. Each of the four hats is an engineering marvel. This etching is 7 x 5 inches, signed, dated, and annotated 'Artist's Proof.' Probably there are others in the world but this is the only impression I've ever seen.

  • Condition:
    The condition is fine. There is buckling from printing -- probably the paper was a little too damp. This is a printing issue, not really a condition issue, but I want to be clear. It shows pretty well in the first and last images.
