'Man Sawing' 1926 by Sir Frank Brangwyn RA RWS RBA (1867-1956) Signed Lithograph

A large lithograph by Sir Frank Williams Brangwyn RA RWS RBA (1867-1956) ‘Man Sawing’ 1926. The lithograph is framed in a faux bird’s eye maple frame. Brangwyn was born in Belgium to Welsh parents but was brought up in London. He learnt to draw, and paint from his father as well as the Art and Crafts practitioner Arthur Heygate Mackmurdo. He also spent time at the workshops of William Morris. A member of the Royal Academy and Royal Academy of British Artists amongst others, he was one of Britain’s most prominent artists prior to the First World War.

Brangwyn was incredibly prolific, in his lifetime producing works in different mediums and adopting different techniques ranging from wood engravings, etching and engravings, to lithographs, painting over a thousand works in oil, and designing anything from furniture to stain glass windows, showing the influence of his art and crafts education. His lithographs are scarcer than his engravings and this is a large example.

The lithograph is in great overall condition, with only several small foxing dots, there is small bubble in the paper near the signature. 

Frame measures 55.5 x 60 cm.
