Sardine Fleet at Anchor

$350.00

Description

This work by the Massachusetts artist George Elmer Browne is a particularly fine example of drypoint etching. The shadowy images of men working and boats in the bay set the mood.

This work may be the work by which Browne is best known.  Impressions of this etching are held in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the Smithsonian Institution, and other important museums.
