{"product_id":"the-bath-william-strang","title":"The Bath - William Strang","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 1904 etching by William Strang, capturing a quiet, domestic moment between a mother and her child with bold, expressive line work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWilliam Strang, a Scottish artist associated with the Etching Revival, produced this work in 1904. The composition depicts a domestic scene, showing a mother attending to her infant in a washbasin. Strang employs a stark, high-contrast approach, utilising bold, hatched lines to define form and shadow. The background remains largely neutral, which directs the viewer's attention to the interaction between the two figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrang was a pupil of Alphonse Legros at the Slade School of Fine Art, and his technical proficiency in printmaking is evident here. The use of heavy, deliberate lines creates a sense of weight and volume, characteristic of his graphic style. Unlike the softer, atmospheric prints of his contemporaries, Strang often favoured a more sculptural quality in his figures. The mother's posture is steady, and the child's reach towards her creates a moment of quiet intimacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print demonstrates the artist's ability to elevate a mundane, everyday task into a formal study of light and texture. The limited palette and the focus on line work reflect the influence of traditional printmaking techniques, which Strang helped to revitalise during the early twentieth century. By stripping away unnecessary detail, the artist focuses on the physical presence of the subjects. This piece is a representative example of his graphic output, showing his command over the etching needle and his interest in human subjects within domestic settings. The work remains a clear example of the technical rigour applied to printmaking during this period, avoiding sentimentality in favour of structural clarity and direct observation.\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\/premiere-anders-zorn\" 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;\"\u003ePremière by Anders Zorn\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/sally-the-small-plate-walter-sickert\" 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;\"\u003eSally: The Small Plate by Walter Sickert\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/william-strang\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eWilliam Strang artwork →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"William Strang","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59185381540175,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59185408803151,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59185408835919,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59185408868687,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59185408901455,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59185408934223,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59185408966991,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59185408999759,"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":59185409032527,"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":59185409065295,"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":59185409098063,"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":59185409130831,"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":59185409163599,"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":59185409196367,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59185409229135,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59185409261903,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59185409294671,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59185409327439,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59185409360207,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59185409392975,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Bath_Poster_CompositorV1_1792115733199.jpg?v=1792395571","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/the-bath-william-strang","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
