Gerald Brockhurst -- Lassitude
British American artist Brockhurst was well known in the interwar years for his society portraits. He was also an engraver and etcher of note, and today he is probably best known for his 1932 print "Adolescence", in which a young naked woman is shown gazing at her reflection in a dressing table mirror.
"Lassitude" dates from ten years before. I like the way the fabric of the dress is etched, the overall composition of the picture, and the sheer prettiness of the girl.
