For your consideration is this Original Coloured Etching by Mary Anna Lehman titled, "Mothers", 1971, #14/35. Mary Lehman was raised in Spokane, Washington and rose to fame with her horse etchings and Western genre, which she frequently coloured with oil and watercolour. She attended the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles in 1938 and served in the Women's Army Corps in Los Alamos, California, during World War II. She wed Joseph Lehman in 1946. Resuming her studies in art, Lehman attended UCLA (1946), Chouinard School of painting in Los Angeles (1946–1951) and El Camino College in Torrance, California (1956–1958). After relocating to Rolling Hills Estates, California in 1963, she started her etching in 1968. In addition to Rex Brandt, Dan Lutz, Mildred Walker, Richard Haines, and others, she studied etching with Joe Mugniani. The etching shows a Native American woman, quirt in the right hand, sitting on her horse, child in a cradleboard strapped to her back, in a prairie with a young foal following. The bottom of the etching reads, "14/35 Color Ed / Mothers / M. Lehman 6-1971" in pencil. The piece has been set in a beautiful decorative gold gilt shadowbox style frame showing a gold gilt interior wood frame. The matted colour etching is in very nice condition. Visible art measures 8.5"W x 11.5"L, frame is 19"W x 22"L x 2"D, weight is 4lb, 4oz.
