HYDEN, THE OLD SHEPHERD
Engraving, 1947, signed, titled, inscribed (Line engraving) and Edition 65 proofs, unframed
18 x 14.5cm.
* George Hyden is seen repairing sacks at a mill near Bath. Unusually for Anderson, the sitter's name is part of the title. Post-War thrift requires careful repairs for the sacks but the shepherd's heavy hands seem to make light of the task. The work is menial but important and economical; the atmosphere is calm but focused and industrious.
