Frank Brangwyn, British, orig. etching, Rabbi with Goose, 1931. A rare and interesting original work by the great etcher Frank Brangwyn, this image of a Rabbi carrying home a goose was one of the 73 etchings he made as illustrations to the book, L' Ombre de la Croix (The Shadow of the Cross), written by Jerome and Jean Tharaud, published by Editions Lapina, Paris, 1931. The book describes the lives of Jews in contemporary Europe, and many of Brangwyn's illustrations depict the town of Belz  in Poland, a centre for pilgrimage. Brangwyn is not known to have visited Poland and current research suggests that many of the etchings were based on photographs. The etching measures 19 x 13.3cm (the sheet is 38.0 x 28cm) and is hand-signed by the artist. A good impression in good condition, unframed. This appears to be the final state of the etching. 

Sir Frank William Brangwyn RA RWS PRBA HRSA (1867 - 1956) was a painter, print-maker, illustrator and designer. His choice of approach was just as eclectic: the chiaroscuro in his etchings is reminiscent of Piranesi or Rembrandt; some paintings show the influence of Delacroix, while in later periods he was influenced by Impressionism, Fauvism, Art Nouveau, the first Vienna Secession (1898) and even Expressionism. Believing that art should be accessible to all and that this was best done by prints, he made over 500 etchings; many were produced in several states of which the first might consist of a single impression, later editions as many as 150. All demonstrate his remarkable draughtsmanship and technical facility. (He also produced more than 315 wood engravings and woodcuts, and over 200 lithographs.) 

This Etching Print measures 5 1/4 inch by 7 1/2 inch, (13.3cm x 19.0cm). (image). The sheet is 11 inch by 15 inch, (28.0cm x 38.0cm).
