About the Item
A Self Portrait. c. 1932. Ink drawing on wove paper. 3 1/2 x 2 1/4 (sheet 10 x 7). Provenance: the artist's daughter. Unsigned. A unique silhouette housed in an archival French double mat and a 12 3/4 x 11 3/8 Whistler-style gold leaf frame.
Born in Birmingham, the artist attended the Birmingham School of Art from the age of 12. Regarded as a 'young Botticelli', his drawing skills won him a gold medal and scholarship at the Royal Academy Schools in 1913. He studied in England, France, and Italy, where he was profoundly influenced by Piero Della Francesca, Botticelli and Da Vinci.
During the 1920s Brockhurst became an etcher, focusing primarily on female portraits and using his wife as his model. Coolness, technical perfection, and overt classicism mark both his printmaking style and his painting manner.

Housed in a French mat and a 22 x 16 1/2-inch gold leaf frame.
