"Woman, Boy and Goats", Original Signed Etching by John E. Costigan Circa 1930

This original, limited edition etching, was realized by the esteemed American artist John E. Costigan, who is represented in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum, the Philips Memorial Gallery in Washington and the Brooklyn Museum, to name only a few of the many institutions that feature his work. This print, with its highly considered composition and its loose style of figuration- deftly balances realism and abstraction- helps to explain his acclaim. This etching features a mother walking with her child and two goats in a forested glen. It is a Classic pastoral scene rendered in Costigan's inimitable style- somewhere between Theodore Rousseau and Thomas Hart Benton. These offer a beautiful glimpse of a bygone American pastoral life in America, not to mention that it represents a beautiful object in its own right. High style deco has three more prints from this series in our inventory. The entire suite of four prints is available for purchase for $4475. The pieces are in the original portfolio and have never been framed. Excellent condition.
