Exceptional original drypoint etching by acclaimed American artist Frank Weston Benson (1862–1951), celebrated for his luminous depictions of wildlife and sporting life. This work, titled Duck Hunter, portrays a lone figure wading through marshland as ducks rise from the water — a classic Benson composition combining dynamic movement with atmospheric stillness.
Signed Frank W. Benson in pencil lower left. Verso bears a period Kennedy & Co. Rare Prints, New York label identifying it as an “Original Drypoint by Frank W. Benson.” This confirms it as an authentic lifetime impression, not a later restrike.
Presented under glass in its original vintage frame with a cream mat.
Medium: Drypoint on laid paper
Date: Circa 1920s Research Notes:
Frank W. Benson was a leading figure in the American Etching Revival and a founding member of “The Ten.” His sporting etchings are highly collected. This composition aligns stylistically with his 1920s–30s works depicting waterfowl hunters.
