Artist: BETTY CONNAL

Title: 'STRUCTURE AILEE' - original etching with aquatint - unframed

Description:  Betty Connal (also known as Betty Connal-Peebles) was born in 1935.  A painter and printmaker, her work is in the Government Art Collection (eight examples) and it was also bought by local authorities for their collections.

This superb heavily abstracted etching with aquatint is pencil signed, titled 'Structure Ailee' and is numbered 9 of 50 only.  Presumably the artist worked in Paris for a time as a number of the prints made in the late 1960s/early 1970s have titles in French.  Her work was certainly on exhibition in Paris during that period.  Although not dated we think the present print is likely to date to 1970-73, which is also consistent with the dating of the examples in the Government Collection.

The print measures about 26 x 20.2 inches sheet size and has deckle edges. It has not been trimmed.  The image size is about 21.5 x 17.5 inches.  Overall the print is in very good condition, save for some creasing to the corners and some tape reside to the reverse.  There is no evidence of foxing.  The work is unframed...
