Gossip, by Ernest W Watson, Amer., (1884-1969)

Color Linocut, 1920, Ed. 6/100, 9-1/2 x 8-7/8, signed, titled, numbered and dated jan 1920 in pencil, skinning to top margin from removal of old hinges, some soft folds to lower corners, on cream wove japan paper, the sheet 11-1/2 x 10-5/8. The ample use here of yellow and green add a revealing emotional intensity to the surely critical verbal exchange shared between these two women. A beautiful Arts & Crafts composition.
