ALISON BUSBY SHRIVER (AMERICAN, 20TH - 21ST CENTURY): "THE PARK GATE 1878," CUT-PAPER SILHOUETTE, 1989

Alison Busby Shriver (American, 20th–21st century): "The Park Gate 1878" [Women with Fans and Parasols], 1989, hand-cut silhouette or scherenschnitte from fibrous handmade Japan paper against black background with touches of gouache, titled in pencil in lower margin, signed and dated vertically in pencil along right edge "Alison Busby Shriver 1989," sight size 13-1/2" x 9-1/2", matted and framed under glass to an overall size of 17" x 13".

A particularly complex and striking example from this respected contemporary silhouette artist. A graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art, Shriver is best known for her distinctive revival of this nineteenth-century art form, often using period materials.

Notes: A touch of mild wear to frame; dust cover torn but otherwise intact; otherwise in fine, clean, attractive condition overall
