Engravers and Etchers: Six Lectures Delivered on the Scammon Foundation at the Art Institute of Chicago, March 1916
Carrington, Fitz Roy
Engraving -- History; Etching -- History
Among his many portraits of women, it is difficult to make a selection.
_Miss Anna Burnett, seated at the Piano_, is charming. _Annie_, _Mrs.
Granberg_, and _Kesti_--each, in its own way, fascinates us; but if
one were to express a personal preference, it would be for _Miss Emma
Rassmussen_. The blond beauty of her hair, the fair, tender flesh,
sparkling eyes, and lips slightly open, showing the firm, small, even
teeth, are in perfect harmony. The line is more delicate than is the
artist’s wont, and both as a portrait and as an etching it is a lasting
delight.
