Dorsey Potter Tyson Pencil Signed and Numbered Hand Painted Etching The Favorite 1932 In Original Decorated Frame

Dorsey Potter Tyson:
American printmaker 1900-1971
Online biography of the artist "was born in Maryland; however, much of D.P.Tyson’s market was in England. His prints sold alongside those of the Elyse Ashe Lord, riding on the wave of popularity for the Art Deco style which was in vogue at the time. Like Elyse Lord, Dorsey Potter Tyson drew his inspiration from a wide range of oriental sources and like Lord, his art was essentially decorative in nature.
Dorsey Potter Tyson's highly decorative original colour prints appear, at first glance, to be colour printed etchings, which have then been extensively coloured by hand. They are in fact, the result of skilful colour printing alone, using a technique which effectively combines the printing of a normal etching simultaneously with that of printing a monotype. The lines of the etched design, which compose the basic image art inked with black printer's ink, and the surface of the plate is then cleaned in the manner used for printing a normal monochrome etching. Thick, coloured printer’s inks are then painted onto the surface of the plate using a brush as though painting a plate for a monotype printing; the proof is then printed at one pull through the press. This is a very time-consuming method of colour printmaking, but the results are striking and extremely decorative."

Title is The Favorite 

One of my favorite pieces by the artist, this one has the color of the birds with the full color of the woman's clothes. Agian Tyson shows how colorful the Asian clothing was. You can see how the colors of the clothes all out mirror or mimic the colors of nature. Art Deco style took so much from the Asian style and their use of natures colors to show that life can be as beautiful as nature was. 
The woman is is almost surrounded by the birds, the birds look down to her. It is if she is a bird too with her long robe trailing behind her like it was part of her feathers. 
As you can see, I like this piece. 
The etching is fully decorated and painted by the artist.
