Henry Wolf -Signed 1909 Engraving after J A M Whistler "Harmony in Green & Rose"

Signed 1909 engraving by Henry Wolf after James Abbott MacNeill Whistler "Harmony in Green and Rose: The Music Room"

Offered here is an original wood engraving on Japan tissue, by prolific and well known French/American artist/engraver Henry Wolf.  This print measures 6 3/8 x 4 7/8 inches (image) and is attached at corners to backing card or mount.  The overall mount size is ~14 1/4 x 11 1/4 inches.  Print is hand signed by Henry Wolf.  This print is unframed.

This print comes from Henry Wolf's personal collection, passed down through son Hamilton Wolf (also a well known artist).

The print is in very good condition.  Tissue print is attached at corners to mount (though some prints in collection may have detached corners - see images).  Mount has rough edges and may be a bit toned, but by slipping a white sheet between tissue print and mount, it will look as fresh and clean as the day it was printed.

Print is unframed.

Henry Wolf (1852-1916)
Henry Wolf was a French-born wood engraver who lived and worked in the United States during his most influential work period and until his death.

Henry Wolf was born on August 3, 1852 in Eckwersheim, France.  He lived in Strasbourg and studied under Jacques Levy and exhibited in Paris.  Henry Wolf moved to New York City in 1871, where he created wood engravings of works by Gilbert Stuart, Enric Serra Auque, Frank Weston Benson, Howard Pyle, Henry Salem Hubbell, John Singer Sargent, A. B. Frost, Jan Vermeer, Jean Leon Gerome, Aime Morot, and Edouard Manet.   Many of his engravings were published in Scribner's Magazine, Harper's Monthly, and Century Magazine.  In 1896 he started engraving his own artwork.  He exhibited 144 wood engravings at the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco. He was awarded the Exposition's Grand Prize in printmaking that year. He died in home in New York City on March 18, 1916.  His works are held in the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Canton Museum of Art.
