Peter Simon
Peter Simon belongs to the tradition of late eighteenth-century British satirical and genre printmaking, working chiefly in etching and aquatint and often finishing his plates by hand in colour. His subjects lean toward narrative and moralising scenes, rendered with the tonal effects that aquatint made possible. This collection holds two of his sheets, dated 1785, comprising one etching and aquatint printed in brown ink and one hand-coloured etching and aquatint, including the example The Doctor Dismissing Death.
