In 1896 Hubert von Herkomer was Knighted by Queen Victoria. Herkomer's most highly respected works of art are his portraits and figure studies. During his career he both etched and engraved such portraits of contemporary composers and artists as Richard Wagner, Seymour Haden, Holman Hunt and Cecil Lawson. Many of his great figure studies, such as Babes in the Wood concentrated upon the world of children.Source:"Sir Hubert von Herkomer," ArtofthePrint.com This 1891 intaglio print is in very good condition and is signed and dated on the upper right corner by the artist.
