Philip Wilson Steer (British, 1860-1942), ‘Nursemaid’ Original Lithograph on wove paper, unsigned (1892). Framed and glazed. Fine impression of the only edition issued as a supplement to The Albemarle, 1892 edition of c.200. The only Lithograph by Wilson Steer and therefore scarce. Steer was a leading figure in the British Impressionist movement. He was rejected by the Royal Academy of Art, and so studied in Paris between 1882 and 1884, firstly at the Académie Julian, and then in the École des Beaux Arts under Alexandre Cabanel, where he became a follower of the Impressionist school. In Paris he was greatly influenced by seeing works by Édouard Manet and James McNeill Whistler and the French impressionists. Some foxing to paper. 22.5cm x 16.5cm.
