Printed in NYC 1977 by master printer Joseph Kleineman from a hand drawn lithography stone using traditional hand lithography techniques on archival Arches printmaking paper 100% acid-free rag. YOUNG WOMAN BRAIDED HAIR is a sensitive, realist female portrait depicting a moody girl with dark braided hair wearing a notch neck blouse; her facial expression appearing serious and contemplative as she looks slightly downward. Fine impression - has the feel of a graphite drawing. Print size - 18 x 14 inches, unframed, very good condition, hand signed by Raphael Soyer, from the master printers private collection. Raphael Soyer was a Russian-born painter. He was the twin to the artist Moses Soyer (1899-1974) and the older brother of the painter Isaac Soyer (1907-1981). “During the 1930’s their work was typical of the Social Realism style practiced by the American Scene painters, depicting the lives of working people with sympathy and at times a touching air of melancholy, as in Raphael’s well-known ‘Office Girls’ (Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, 1936).” (The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Art and Artists, edited by Ian Chilvers).
