Description: ANKER’S THE LITTLE ARCHITECT FRAMED ETCHING This listing features an image engraved by A & E Varin after the painting by celebrated Swiss artist, Albrecht Samuel Anker (1831-1910). Mr. Anker was Switzerland’s “national painter”. His depictions of children are certainly among the most charming ever created by human hands. His paintings and illustrations of 19th-century Swiss social life are also enduring and well known. The overall framed image measures approximately 14 1/2 inches tall by 12 1/4 inches wide by 1 inch thick. The mat opening of the image measures 8 inches tall by 5 1/2 inches wide, but the sheet of paper the image is printed on is larger. I cannot determine the exact size since the backing paper still in good intact condition and I don't want to remove it. The engraving is slightly yellowed by time, clean, crisp, and has extraordinary detail. It is single matted in a solid wood black and gold custom frame with minimal wear, most of which has been touched up well. The etching is signed and titled on the lower border, “A. Anker, The Little Architect, A. and E. Varin“. It will be packed professionally and shipped flat, ready to hang and enjoy upon receipt by its new owner.
