YEATS (W.B.)
Footnotes
One of 50 signed impressions of the highly regarded fourth and final state of Augustus John's portrait of Yeats. "John was one of the great portrait painters of his age; he was also one of its most original etchers, and where he combined both arts, as here, the results are extraordinarily successful. In his portrait of Yeats there is an added dimension, for in it he depicted one of the greatest of his literary contemporaries" (Raymond Lister, Great Images of British Printmaking, 1978, pp.58-59). It has not been examined out of the frame, but a photocopy of the original mount is supplied with the lot, showing the edition details.
