JOHN COPLEY 1875-1950
FINE PENCIL-SIGNED, PRE-WAR LITHOGRAPH
STUDY # 8 - 'THE POWDER PUFF' 1916
Measures around 16 cm x 21 cm (image) and 43 cm x 48 cm (frame).
Signed in pencil 'John Copley'
Not titled, but since the size of the print accords exactly with that given in Harold Wright's list (as published in the Fine Art Society's catalogue of John Copley's lithographs) and there is a powder puff in evidence, it seems pretty certain that this is 'The Powder Puff.'
One of an edition of only 20.
The baby is almost certainly the artist's infant son, Peter Copley (1915 - 2008), later a distinguished film and television actor. This is probably his only nude scene.
