1894 "On a Swedish Lake" Etching By Axel H. Haig

(Axel H. Haig)

Sweden: 1894 Etching, drypoint and aquatint; pencil signed lower right; and titled in pencil as well; impression approx. 10" x 6 3/8"; margins give it another inch or so all around, approx. 8" x 12"; archivally hinged to a matte board; good impression; very good condition. Axel Hermann Haig (1835-1921) Swedish born etcher and architectural draughtsman - had an extensive career in naval architecture in Great Britain before concentrating on his artwork, becoming a founder member of the Society of Etchers - "...Haig was a regular prize winner at international exhibitions. His printer, Frederick Goulding, was the best in England; his print seller, Robert Dunthorne, knew the upper reaches of the print market on both sides of the Atlantic. Technical mastery; compositional drama; a combination of archaeology, sentiment, and flair: all these turned Haig, in the eyes of the late Victorian public, into a veritable Piranesi of Gothic. And in his native Sweden he earned one more claim to fame: he was the tutor of Anders Zorn (1860-1920), perhaps the greatest of modern etchers..." (J. Mordaunt Crook in the DNB); kept in an old gallery matte, protecting the artwork. Very Good.
