A large and decorative gouache and graphite illustration by Willy Pogany titled on verso in the artists hand “Love’s Labour’s Lost”. Likely used in a William Shakespeare adaptation perhaps a cover for “The American Weekly” a large courting scene and a grand depiction by this very important artist from “The Golden Age of Illustration”. Work is beautifully silk matted and framed behind glass and ready to hang.

This is the second of a pair of institution-sized monumental hand-tinted highlighted fine art prints that were displayed in New York City at the Metropolitan Museum of Art after the turn of the last century. They found their way to a convent in the Midwest and recently went up for sale. We are proud to offer this most unusual Edwin Austin Abbey, King Lear, A Farewell To Cordelia .
