Description
The letter with title and dedication by the artist to the owner of the painting, Lord Charles Townshend, and with "Painted and Engraved by Henry Pidding" and "London Published for the artist Decr. 8th 1828 by Pidding & Co. No.1 Cornhill"
A fine mezzotint on woven paper by Pidding (1797 – 1864) depicts a black man sitting at a table near the window, pouring out a glass for himself with a dog sitting at his feet. Taken from the original picture in the collection of Charles Townsend. Very attractive and decorative. Exceedingly rare, we have been only able to trace one.
The print comes in its original Hardwood frame.
