Description
Woodcut printed in colors, 1920 circa; signed in pencil at lower right, Ethel Kirkpatrick.
This is a superb impression printed on Japanese paper.
Ethel Kirkpatrick was born in Dublin, Ireland, but most of her productive years were spent in London or South England. Although there are scant biographical details, Kirkpatrick was a watercolorist, oil painter and woodcut artist. She studied at the Royal Academy in London and the Central School of Arts and Crafts. She apparently visited the Near East, and exhibited prints based on her journey at The Royal Academy, The Society of Graver-Printers in Colour, and The Arts and Crafts Society. She lived at Cowes, on the Isle of Wight, for some time, and many of her works depict views of that area.
Light foxing, otherwise good condition.

Ethel Alice Kirkpatrick, painter, printmaker, illustrator, and jeweler, was born in Clerkenwell, London, on November 30, 1869, the daughter of Mary and Thomas Sutton Kirkpatrick. Her mother was from Yorkshire; her father was a professional soldier from a Coolmine landed family in Dublin. Thomas Kirkpatrick was the resident governor of Cold Bath Fields prison where Ethel was born. Her older sister, Ida Marion Kirkpatrick (1866 - 1950) was also an artist.
Ethel studied at the Royal Academy Schools and the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London where she learned enameling and woodcut. It is assumed that Frank Morley Fletcher instructed her in wood engraving techniques. She continued her studies at the Académie Julien in Paris.
Of independent means, the Kirkpatrick sisters traveled extensively. They visited the St Ives artists' colony in Cornwall on numerous occasions and also had a twenty-year association with the Walberswick artists' colony in Suffolk. Both sisters returned to the family home, The Gables in Harrow-on-the Hill, in 1906 where they had a studio to work in.
Ethel Kirkpatrick exhibited at the Alpine Club Gallery; the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours; the Royal Society of British Artists; the Royal Academy of Arts; the International Society of Sculptors, Painters and Gravers; the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts; and the Beaux Arts Gallery. She has been a member of and exhibited with the Society of Women Artists, the Society of Graffiti Artists, and the Society of Color Woodcuts. Kirkpatrick's work is represented in the National Gallery of Canada; the British Museum; the Victoria and Albert Museum; the Hunterian Museum, Glascow; and the Fine Arts Museums, San Francisco.
Ethel Kirkpatrick died in Holborn on December 28, 1966, survived by her sister Ida of sixteen years.
