Arthur William Heintzelman (American, 1891-1965), four untitled portrait etchings, ca. early to mid 20th century CE. A group of four framed portrait etchings, each depicting a different individual, highly realistic and with excellent detail. One depicts a young child, probably a girl, sitting with her hands clasped, her hair curling in a wonderfully lifelike manner around her head, a somber expression on her face. Another is the head of an old woman with a stern look; this etching has limited detail below the neck, giving center stage to her face. The third is of a boy sitting on a barrel on a dock, with sailing ships floating behind him. He wears coveralls, a hat, and a saddened expression. The fourth depicts a middle-aged man, seated slightly hunched, his arms crossed over his lap, his face in a contemplative, distant look. Size of each with frame: 17.25" W x 21.75" H (43.8 cm x 55.2 cm)

Heintzelman was born in Newark, New Jersey and educated at the Rhode Island School of Design. He and his wife lived in Europe for over a decade, in France and Switzerland, before moving back to the USA, where he became the first Keeper of Prints at the Boston Public Library. He won numerous international prizes for his etchings and his work is found in many museums throughout the USA and Europe.
