The state of preservation is good and aged with decoloration of paper. This original etching represents a crowd of people hard working. skillfully expressed through quick and strong strokes, shows movement and effort of people. The demonstration of mastery in technique. Sir Frank William Brangwyn (Bruges, 1867 - Ditchling, 1956). The British painter, engraver and illustrator, born in Bruges, Belgium, was the son of William Curtis Brangwyn, the decorator of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. In Wales in 1875, he received an artistic education first at his father's studio and then at the atelier of the famous artist William Morris. In 1884, his passion for art received a considerable incentive with the admission of one of his canvases to the Royal Academy's summer exhibition and six years later, in 1890, his Funeral At Sea painting won the gold medal at the Salon Paris. The work was inserted, after a period of intense landscape experimentation, within the so-called "gray period", characterized by the choice of a limited chromatic range. Attracted by the oriental vein, Brangwyn left for Istanbul and the Black Sea, carrying out numerous studies and sketches: many of these drawings turned into paintings, in particular the views of Spain, Morocco, Egypt and Turkey. Its color range widened to include golden hues. After a brief return to his homeland, the painter went to Africa until, in 1895, Siegfried Bing invited him to Paris. During his stay in Europe, the critic addressed him to the applied arts and Brangwyn devoted himself to interior decoration, stained glass and the design of decorations for carpets and upholstery. His always sober decorative style received acclaim both at home and in the United States. His most famous work is the British Empire Panels, a series of panels on the size of the British Empire created to adorn the Houses of Westminster but that were rejected by the Parliament because they were too exotic. After World War I, which saw him as an official artist, he painted some frescoes in the cathedral of Jefferson City, Missouri and was chosen by Nelson Rockefeller to decorate a part of the RCA bulding in New York, along with Diego Rivera and José Maria Sert, and yes he devoted mainly to the design and decorator activity.
