Eulalia Barthold
Drypoint, circa 1926, Davenport 16, small edition. 14 3/4 x 12 in. Initialed in the plate, left of center, near the chair. Signed in pencil and inscribed "collection of the artist." This is a superb impression of this rare and fashionable early work. The sitter was a cousin of the artist. The condition is basically fine apart from a repair in the lower left corner margin and a couple of printing wrinkles in the left edge of the image which are inconspicuous. This impression is from the estate of the artist, left to his partner of many years, Jon F. Anderson. The print is inscribed "collection of the artist."

Etching, 1934, Davenport 35, Johnson & Miller 78; edition 50. 8 x 11 3/4 in. Signed in pencil, lower right. Inscribed "edition of 50" in the lower margin. This is a superb tonal impression printed with nice contrasts. The margins are full and the condition is fine. (There's just the faintest suggestion of toning within an earlier mat opening.) This great, early work relates closely to a painting which is now in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. That work has the title "Greenwich Village Cafeteria."
