Gerald Leslie Brockhurst, British, 1890 to 1978, etching on paper. Titled Young Womanhood. Signed and dated 1931 in plate and in pencil lower right. Framed. Gerald Brockhurst was an extraordinary and highly celebrated artist that painted various well-known society figures of his time including Marlene Dietrich and the Duchess of Windsor. He studied at the Birmingham School of Art but later attended the Royal Academy Schools where he won a gold medal in 1907. The award enabled him to undertake study trips to Italy where he became inspired by the old masters such as Piero della Francesca, Botticelli and Leonardo da Vinci. Alongside his work as a celebrated painter, he also produced numerous etchings - often depicting the women closest to him, such as his wife, Anais Folin, and later his partner, Dorette. In 1937, a few years after this etching was produced, Brockhurst was elected to the Royal Academy and was heading towards the peak of his success. And in 1939, he moved to New York where he became highly sought after. Collectible Graphic Art, Prints And Multiples, Limited Edition, Portraiture.
