Thomas Hart Benton (1889-1975)

Rainy Day

The lithograph from an edition of 250 prints published by Associated American Artists is signed by the artist in pencil below the image lower right, listed as Fath catalog number 23. A good dark impression on Rives watermarked paper.

Benton's comments in Fath read: ''Drawing, painting and litho of this Missouri farm yard made one after the other. Do not know location of painting though I still own original drawing.''

Image measures 8.75 x 13.25 on a 12 x 16 inch sheet with an overall framed size of 17.25 x 21.75 inches.

AN ABSENTEE BID PLACED IN ADVANCE COULD LOSE TO A LIVE BID OF EQUAL AMOUNT PLACED LATER. First bid precedence is not possible in auctions that incorporate live bidding via multiple online platforms, live bidders participating in the sale room and live telephone bidders. The only ways to avoid the possibility of losing the bid in this manner is to attend the live auction or bid absentee with plus-one option.
