Comments:
Very good condition. Good margins. Printed on off-white wove paper. A few handling marks in the far margins, top and bottom, but well away from image and essentially negligible. A painting, in egg tempera, of this same subject and title is dated 1936 (see Ghent 1993:62). In 1994 the painting was donated by the artist's wife, Monica Haley, to the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco with the notation that the painting was the result of a Tucson, Arizona, visit. The lithograph was almost certainly made at about the same time period as the painting. There has been a suggestion that the print was made after World War Two, this is probably not the case. By at least 1946 Haley was involving himself with Bay Area (Berkeley, San Francisco) modernists and had directed his art to follow that path.
