Artist: Zdzislaw Ruszkowski

Title: Nude in the Bathtub - an original signed aquatint, mounted but unframed

Description: The art critic and author J P Hodin (1905-1995) was a good friend of the artist and we have been able to acquire an aquatint by Ruszkowski which came originally from Paul Hodin's library following his death. We imagine it was a gift from the artist. Two very similar works are illustrated as #39 and 40 in the section of monochrome plates in Hodin's book from 1966. The author dated the illustrated prints, one of which features a nude woman, to 1947 and 1948. This work is an original pencil signed aquatint measuring about 7.9 x 5.4 inches image size on a sheet measuring 10 x 9 inches. The print is in good condition with some light toning to the edge of the margins and three or four light ripples to the paper at the right hand margin not affecting the image. It is mounted ready for framing. We think this work will also date to the late 1940s and we believe it to be scarce...
