Pictures by early English masters : exhibited at the galleries of Cottier & Co., New York, March and April 1912
A 1912 New York exhibition catalogue from Cottier & Co. reproducing 18th and early 19th century English portrait paintings in halftone. The two plates show seated or half-length women in soft white or cream dresses against dark, hazy backgrounds, painted with loose, smoky brushwork that a designer could borrow for period costume, muted palettes, or vignette-style portrait framing.
