Rare etching by the Belgian graphic artist, painter, draftsman and pastelist Hendrik (Henri) Geertsen (1892 - 1969).
He studied at the Academy and the Higher Institute in Antwerp (1906-1914), six years of which under the guidance of the engraver F. Lauwers. He acquired fame as a portraitist and graphic artist and came second in the Prix de Rome for engraving in 1920.
He dealt with themes such as: mother and child, portraits, nudes, harbour and cityscapes. He freely interpreted reality.
He acquired fame primarily as a graphic artist, using as few intersecting lines as possible, drawing directly into the wax layer without pre-drawing and only allowing the plates to be slightly bitten, creating subtle gradations of shadow. He was also friends with J. Hendrickx, A. Van Dijck and D. Baksteen.
Dimensions: 21.5x15cm and paper 33x26cm
ATTENTION: the etching is generally in good condition but with some age spots in the paper (see photo details)
