Framed Engraving of Lady Kerrison
This is a framed engraving of Lady Kerrison, engraved by Dean after a painting by Sir Martin Archer Shee. The full-length figure stands in a draped classical gown, with a brooch at the bodice and a shawl falling over one arm, set against a dark interior with a doorway to one side. The title LADY KERRISON is engraved in capitals beneath the figure, with a dedicatory inscription in smaller script below, which is not fully legible. The print is set within a cream mount and an inner secondary mount, and housed in a black ebonised frame with gilt bead moulding to the inner and outer edges.
Condition and Collector Interest
The frame shows wear, with chipping to the black finish along several edges, most noticeably to the lower and right-hand sides, and areas where the gilt beading has rubbed. The engraving is held behind glazing and appears to be in place within its mounts; the condition of the sheet itself should be checked in person before purchase. The piece retains its original-looking mounts and frame, and its combination of a named sitter and a listed engraver and source painter may appeal to collectors of British portrait prints and to those interested in the work of Sir Martin Archer Shee.
