15: THOMAS HART BENTON (1889-1975) PENCIL SIGNED LITHO

Thomas Hart Benton (Missouri, 1889-1975)
The Corral (1948)
The lithograph from an edition of 250 prints published by Associated American Artists is signed by the artist in pencil below the image lower right, Fath number 71.

Benton's comments in Fath read: 'Done for myself, but distributed by AAA. Scene in western Nebraska - Sand Hills country. It was made during a trip through the plains country, Neb, The Dakotas, Eastern Wyoming and Montana - with Col. Graham U.S.A. and a Veterinarian - buying quarter horses for French light artillery. Many drawings were done on this expedition. The trip was in the late summer of 1939.'
Image size 9.75 x 13.75, sheet measures 12 x 16, the frame is 20.75 x 24 inches.
Very good to good condition, noting a pale outline of sheet toning that frames the image, otherwise good being apparently the full untrimmed sheet with good margins, not laid down, no damage, stain, puncture or repair; framed to archival standards in acid free mounts.
