Frank Weston Benson (American, 1862-1951) Two Impressions of Yellowlegs No. 4 , 1928, proof B and proof E-4 (Paff, 284). Both signed "FrankWBenson" in pencil beneath the impression l.l. with additional pencil annotations, including the states, in the lower margins. Drypoint on laid Whatman paper, plate size 7 3/4 x 9 7/8 in. (19.8 x 25.1 cm), unmatted, unframed. Condition: Margins 1 1/2 inches or greater, minor soiling to the margins, subtle handling creases, and creasing to some corners. Provenance: Descended within the family of the artist. N.B. While "E-4" is annotated in the margin, Paff notes only four states. This print is likely a final proof for the published state of 150.
