Charles Frederick William Mielatz. 1861-1919.
Old Mill near Newport. 1887. Etching. 9 1/4 x 6 3/4 (sheet 12 7/8 x 9 5/8). As published by Frederick A. Stokes in Representative Etchings By Artists Of To-day In America. A fine impression printed on cream wove paper with deckle full margins. Signed and dated in the plate; signed and titled in letterpress below. $325.
The image depicts an unfashionable part of Newport--a simple farm road, with a haystack and a house, but dominated by a large working windmill. By the turn of the century, Mielatz abandoned rural scenery in favor of depicting life in New York City.
