Seller: sonnyboy66sonny ✉️ (1,783) 100%, Location: Wadhurst, GB, Ships to: WORLDWIDE, Item: 364731046029 "DAVID" ORIGINAL ART NOUVEAU LITHO FROM "THE STUDIO" 1898 after HEYWOOD SUMNER. "DAVID"  David (of "David & Goliath" fame) is depicted as a handsome youth; he stands by a stream, holding his iconic sling, with pebbles at his feet, all set against a stylised wooded background. An original lithograph published in "The Studio"  after a design by GEORGE HEYWOOD MAUNOIR SUMNER (British, 1853-1940).  Full title is " A Cartoon for Sgraffito Decoration" (* Sgraffito = scratched. In this context it refers to a design incised upon plaster while damp, and then painted). Published in "The Studio", Volume 13, No. 61, April 15, 1898, with their blindstamp embossed at bottom right, just below the image line.  CONDITION: Excellent. No problems at all. Well printed with nicely muted yet bright colours and good tonal contrast. PROVENANCE:  See my last 2 photos which show the original inscribed tissue-guard (included in the sale) and the front cover of the publication it came from. SIZE of the image area is 5.75 x inches square; the total sheet measures 8 x 11.25 inches, so plenty of room for matting/framing. *"The Studio" magazine was of course very much the house-journal of the Art Nouveau and related movements. In the 1890s especially, it took lithography to an incredible level, thanks to in-house lithographers such as William Griggs and Thomas Robert Way. Artists both from UK and abroad were queuing up to have their graphic works displayed in its pages, and the list of contributors included such stellar names as Beardsley, Whistler, Pennell, Valloton, Knopff and Waterhouse to cite but a handful. The editors, especially Charles Holme, were always careful to strike a balance between the established "names" and aspiring artists with emerging talent. ALL MY ITEMS ARE SENT VIA ROYAL MAIL TRACKED SERVICE, BOTH UK AND OVERSEAS, FOR EVERYBODY'S PEACE OF MIND. I WILL HAPPILY COMBINE SHIPPING IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE THAT APPEALS IN MY LISTINGS.
