Rosé, Arnold (1863-1946) [Pollak, Max. (1886-1977)]. Signed Portrait Etching, ca. 1925.
Large original etching of the great violinist by the Czech artist Max Pollak, boldly signed at the foot in pencil by Rosé and also signed in pencil on the image by Pollak. Rosé is shown playing his instrument in great concentration, his face, hands, and violin portrayed in greater detail, while the rest of the image is loosely sketched. Plate measures 16 x 16.8 inches (40 x 42 cm), sheet size 20.5 x 17.3 inches (43 x 52 cm). Heavily toned and foxed, but nevertheless a very striking image. An uncommon example aside from the original edition, which was not signed by the subject and signed by the artist only to the lower right outside of the plate.
Leader of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra for over half a century, Arnold Rosé worked closely with Brahms and was the brother-in-law of Gustav Mahler. Although not known internationally as a soloist, he was a great orchestral leader concertmaster and chamber musician, leading the famous Rosé Quartet for several decades.
