A Summer Day Andante
Norman Lindsay Limited Edition Facsimile Etching 1997
34.0 x 38.4 cm Unframed, Perfect Condition
Norman Lindsay had a great love for Classical music, particularly that of Beethoven. This etching with its lyricism and feeling of languidness aptly portrays the title with its references to the Italian musical term ‘Andante’, which means to play slowly and with feeling.
‘A summer day andante’ is regarded as one of Lindsay’s most romantic etchings and is intriging because Norman Lindsay enthusiasts often speculate as to whether the four little musicians could be Norman’s interpretation of himself and his threee brothers - top to bottom: Lionel, Percy, Daryl and Norman. This facsimile etching is faithfully reproduced from an original etching dated 1925.
The inclusion of swans in A Summer Day Andante gives the etching an added air of tranquillity and contributes to the atmosphere which Norman Lindsay so successfully conveys. He obviously considered which breed of dog would best suit the subject and used his numerous photographs of dogs for reference. Norman's choice of the Borzoi, the dog on the left in A Summer Day Andante, is a perfect complement to the elegant group assembled around the quartet; the Borzoi, also known as the Russian Wolfhound, was bred exclusively for the aristocracy of Czarist Russia. The other dog in this etching looks like a Welsh Springer Spaniel.
This etching comes with a certificate of authenticity, signed by Lindsay, Yates & Partners. This is number 203 of 500.
