For your consideration is an original etching titled "Fish" by American artist R.H. Palenske (1884-1954). This detailed etching shows a fishing boat at sea navigating rough waters. The reverse includes authentication as a "Genuine Etching by R.H. Palenske" by the National Arts Guild, Chicago, Ill. This piece is professionally framed and covered by glass. Palenske's love of animals and nature was almost inborn, for both his father and grandfather were cavalry officers whose love of horses is traditional. In addition to being a master etcher, he was a sportsman and hunter of prominence. In 1944 the Chicago Society of Etchers awarded him the most coveted prize in etching arts "for the outstanding work of the year among the nation`s top etchers". Etchings by Palenske are now included in the collections of the world`s finest galleries, including the Smithsonian Institute, the Library of Congress, the New York Public Library and the Royal Gallery of London. The visible artwork of this piece measures approximately 3.5x3.5" and the frame measures approximately 10.75x10.75"
