Artist: S HORNE SHEPHERD (1909-1993)

Title: 'THE SUMMER HAT' (signed lithograph - mounted but not framed)

Description: The Scottish painter and printmaker Horne Shepherd was born in Dundee and he studied at Dundee School of Art and then at the Glasgow School of Art in the late 1920s.  He came to London in the mid 1930s, and later exhibited at the Royal Society of British Artists, New English Art Club, London Group, Leicester Galleries, Redfern Gallery, Royal Scottish Academy and Society of Scottish Artists, etc.  He moved to West Sussex later in life.

We have three original prints and a drawing by the artist being listed today (please see also earlier item #0342).  The present print is a lithograph from the second series of 'The Summer Hat'.  It is a great print being pencil signed, titled, numbered 1 of 10 only and annotated 'lithograph' by the artist in pencil in the far lower left corner. The image size is 14.7 x 9.5 inches, and the paper is full size with deckle edges at 19 x 15 inches.  The lithograph is in very good condition, although there is some very minor staining where the image abuts the mount.

This work is likely to date from the 1950s. In our opinion the second series of 'The Summer Hat' is much more interesting than the first series, as the artist has added background and colour not present in the first run.  This is quite a scarce item...
