{"product_id":"lady-artist-peggy-bacon","title":"Lady Artist - Peggy Bacon","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 1925 drypoint print by Peggy Bacon, depicting the artist at work in a quiet, domestic setting with her cat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeggy Bacon, a figure known for her sharp wit and satirical eye, produced this drypoint in 1925. The work, titled Lady Artist, captures the creator in a moment of quiet focus. Bacon sits in a chair, hunched over a sketchbook, while a cat rests on the floor nearby. The composition relies on the characteristic scratchy, expressive lines of the drypoint technique, which allow for deep shadows and a sense of immediate, personal observation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene is domestic yet professional. The artist is surrounded by the tools of her trade, including an easel and various papers. Through the window behind her, one observes a grid of other windows, suggesting an urban setting. This detail adds a layer of context to the life of an artist working in the city during the 1920s. Bacon avoids romanticising the act of creation, choosing instead to present a grounded, honest depiction of her own daily routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBacon was a prolific printmaker and illustrator, often using her art to comment on the social dynamics of the New York art world. In this self-portrait, she adopts a modest, almost self-effacing posture. The contrast between the dark, heavy ink work of the interior and the lighter, more schematic rendering of the exterior view creates a sense of enclosure. This print demonstrates her technical skill with the needle, as she manages to convey texture, light, and mood through varying densities of line. It is a candid look at the life of a working artist, stripped of artifice and presented with the dry humour that defined much of her career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/memory-of-a-voyage-rene-magritte\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMemory of a Voyage - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Peggy Bacon","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58691778707791,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58691794829647,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58691794862415,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58691794895183,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58691794927951,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58691794960719,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58691794993487,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58691795026255,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58691795059023,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58691795091791,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58691795124559,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58691795157327,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Lady-Artist_Poster_CompositorV1_1788695372613.jpg?v=1788696028","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/lady-artist-peggy-bacon","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
