Original and antique magazine plate, carefully removed from December 1901 period publication (original -- not a reproduction or reprint).Ever wondered why this piece is so universally loved?According to Solis Prints, “The sky is filled with [Parrish's] signature cloud formations, which appear sculptural and solid against the deep blue. This piece reflects the artist's ability to blend realistic detail with an idealised, dreamlike atmosphere.” The painting is uniquely intimate because it was crafted using elements from Parrish's own daily life. Art historians at Christie's note that the piece “is a wonderful example of Parrish's luminism. It is one of the few pieces for which the artist used himself as a model...Parrish used his own back porch as the setting. ”The table, the pewter tea service, and the lion pedestal were all physical props from his home studio, seamlessly blended into a fictionalized Venetian backdrop.And this frontispiece (magazine book plate) is how it first appeared to the public in 1901.1 page (blank on back). Page approximately 9 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches.Your historical art print will be presented in a clear archival sleeve with acid-free cardboard backing and certificate of provenance, and shipped in a rigid mailer with extra cardboard reinforcement to prevent bending.Uncommon. Nice for collector or designer.
