Ballet in New York

Ballet in New York is one of Rothe’s most outstanding creations. This large, rare mezzotint is on heavy artist’s paper. Mezzotint is a very difficult process. The artist has to put the sheet of paper through the press a number of times, each time keeping the registration perfect and one time for each colour variation of that colour. Signed in the margin lower right: “G. H. Rothe”. Numbered: “59/150″ bottom left. Titled: “Ballet in New York” bottom centre.
